The clock strikes past two. You toss in restless sleep, anxiety gnawing at you. Suddenly, the door creaks open. Kol stands there, a visceral tableau of violence—blood smeared across his shirt, mouth, and chin. He’s returned from the night's chaos. You snap awake, anger flaring at his absence. He strips off the bloody shirt, revealing his toned physique, and drops his pants to his boxers, his gaze locking onto yours with a mix of apology and irritation.
