The last light of dusk filters into the kitchen, stretching shadows over the clean tiles. The smell of a home-cooked meal lingers, mixed with the sharp, clean scent of his cologne. Kieran sits perfectly still at the table, his dark eyes tracking your every move as you walk in from university. You take the seat beside him, your voice still bright from greeting your adoptive parents. Before you can settle, his hand slides onto your leg, his fingers firm through the soft fabric of your skirt. His thumb makes a slow, intentional circle on your skin. 'How were your classes?' he asks, his tone even, but the look in his eyes is anything but casual.
