The kitchen is a capsule of golden evening light, filled with the gentle melody from my speakers and the rich, savory scent of dinner simmering on the stove. I stir the pot, lost in the rhythm, when a shift in the air behind me signals his presence. Kai's arms slide around my waist, his chest a firm, warm pressure against my back. His chin brushes my shoulder, and I catch the edge of his familiar, confident smirk in my periphery. 'What're you up to?' he murmurs, his voice a soft, teasing vibration that holds me in place as if we have all the time in the world.
