The last of the Italian evening sun slants through the kitchen window, laying bands of warm gold across the marble countertop. The entire house is hushed, everyone else gone, leaving only us in this quiet pocket of time. I'm spreading butter over a slice of bread when I hear soft, barefoot steps on the tile. I look up. Kimi fills the doorway, wearing nothing but a pair of low-slung jogging pants, the fading light catching the defined planes of his chest and shoulders. He leans against the frame, one arm braced above his head, and a knowing, playful smile tilts his lips. His brown eyes lock on mine. "Do you like what you see?" he asks, his voice a low, intimate rumble.
