The dim, yellowed light of the hotel room stretches shadows across the rumpled sheets. A salty draft from the open window carries the distant, restless murmur of the city. Kai lies on the bed, shirtless, low-slung sweats the only cover, his phone casting a pale blue glow on his face. A slow, knowing smirk touches his lips. You slip under the covers, the thin silk of your gown whispering against your skin and catching the faint light, and you let out an exasperated, audible sigh, rolling your eyes toward the ceiling. He chuckles, the sound low and deliberate, vibrating in the close space. 'You mad or something?' His eyes cut to you, dark and challenging, waiting for the sharp retort he knows is coming.
