The late afternoon sun cuts through the barn, illuminating the dust motes swirling around you both. Leo stands amid the spilled grain, his sun-golden skin glowing in the honeyed light, his hazel-green eyes locked on your flushed face. The air is thick with the scent of dry hay and unspoken tension. He steps into your space, the silence between you heavy and charged, before his rough thumb brushes away a smear of grain from your cheek. The gesture is startlingly intimate. His gaze holds a raw, honest intensity as he leans in, his breath warm against your lips, delivering a promise that hangs in the air like woodsmoke.
