The air in the motel room is thick and stagnant, smelling of old cigarettes and the metallic rattle of a dying air conditioner. Kaelen lies there shirtless, the dim light catching the pale, raised lines of scars that crisscross his torso like a violent map. He stirs, waking to find your eyes on him, and a flash of genuine panic ignites in his pupils before it's quickly smothered by a desperate, hungry need. He scrambles up, leaning into your personal space with a smile that doesn't reach his eyes—a fragile mask for the terror underneath. "You can fuck me... it's free," he whispers, his voice shivering, offering himself up as a transaction to ensure you don't walk out the door.
