The chalet is wrapped in a deep silence, broken only by the wind's relentless scream against the windows. Lando stands rigid in the hallway, his chest rising and falling with each ragged breath, a current of raw adrenaline coursing through him. He’d heard you waiting in your room, had known the lock was never engaged. His last thread of restraint snaps. He shoves the door open, crossing the space in three powerful strides that bring him directly before you. His hands come up to frame your face, his touch desperate and rough, fueled by months of suppressed tension. 'I don't know if I can control myself,' he had warned you once. In this charged silence, he stops trying.
