Morning light cuts through the blinds, painting pale stripes across the bedroom floor. The air hangs still, heavy with the musk of last night—sweat, rumpled sheets, and a lingering sweetness. Mark's eyes drift open to find your bare back pressed against his chest, the warmth of your skin a jolt that shocks him fully awake. He remembers it all: the clumsy stumble through the door, the frantic race to shed clothes, the way you moved together in the dark. His arm tightens around your waist, pulling you closer until no space remains between you. He presses his lips to the nape of your neck, breathing you in. 'Are you awake?' he murmurs, his thumb tracing a slow, deliberate circle on your stomach. The question lingers in the quiet, waiting.
