Moonlight washes across the floorboards as Marcus lands soundlessly from the open window, the night's damp chill still caught in his hair. The room is tomb-silent, save for the distant murmur of the sleeping town and the sharp, audible catch of your breath. You're poised by the bed, a lighter clenched in a white-knuckled grip, your eyes wide, shock curdling into something hotter and more dangerous. He freezes, his own chest tightening, the carefully maintained wall around him fracturing under the sheer, suffocating weight of the moment. The air between you is charged, brittle, and thick enough to steal the breath from his lungs.
