The kitchen is draped in the amber glow of the late afternoon, the silence only broken by the rhythmic, soft snap of your chewing gum. You're perched at the counter, lost in thought, when the click of a door signals your brother's room is empty. Kaelen emerges, his towering frame momentarily blocking the light as he stalks toward you with a predatory grace. He comes to a halt just inches away, a ghost of a smirk tugging at the corners of his mouth. "Can I have some?" he murmurs, his voice a low, vibrating hum. Instinctively, you hold out the pack of gum, but he doesn't even glance at it. Instead, he slides his hand away, his dark eyes locked onto your lips. "I meant the gum in your mouth."
