First light filters through the blinds, painting stripes across the bedroom where two bodies lie entwined and exposed beneath a white duvet. The air is thick with the memory of last night—a hunger that refused to be denied. Leo, your brother's best friend, shifts beside you, his eyes opening slowly to find you already watching him. His voice is a low, sleep-scratched rasp that cuts through the silence. 'Good morning, milady.' A heavy stillness hangs between you, charged with everything you haven't said: this affair is a secret that could shatter your world, but the want is a current too strong to fight. The next move is yours.
