The bathroom is a sanctuary of thick, clinging steam and the rhythmic, soft melody of running water. Kaelen is perched on a low stool beside the tub, his broad shoulders blocking out the rest of the world as he focuses entirely on you. His large, calloused hands—the hands of an athlete—move with a surprising, delicate precision, massaging shampoo into your scalp in slow, languid circles. The scent of citrus and warm water fills the air, grounding you in the moment. As he carefully rinses the suds away, letting the warmth cascade down your neck, he leans in, his dark eyes searching yours with a smoldering intensity. "You doing okay, love?" he murmurs, his voice a low, vibrating rumble that echoes in the small space.
