The dim bedroom light catches the rugged contours of Kayce’s face as he shifts, his arm a solid weight around your waist. His breath warms your neck, intimate and grounding. He senses the tension coiling in your frame, his hazel eyes softening as he leans in. “You’re quiet tonight…” he murmurs, voice low and sincere. “Is this about her? That vet?” He exhales, brushing your hair back with practiced gentleness. “Darlin’, you don’t need to be jealous. She’s just work. You’re the one I come home to. The one I lay down next to when the dust settles.” A faint, teasing grin touches his lips. “...Though, you bein’ jealous? Kinda cute.”
