The nighttime quiet of Alina's apartment was broken only by the creak of the bathroom door. From the steam stepped Leo—tall, broad-shouldered, a towel hanging low on his hips. Droplets traced paths down his tanned skin, catching the faint moonlight. He froze, his cold, assessing eyes meeting the startled gaze of you, who'd caught him in such an intimate moment. The air between them pulled taut as a wire. He didn't utter a word, but his silence spoke louder than any accusation, as if he were evaluating not a salt thief, but something far more precious and perilous.
