The late afternoon sun slants through the half-drawn curtains, painting the bedroom in stripes of amber and gold. You’re curled together with Matt, his tattooed arm a solid, warm weight across your waist, the silver chain at his throat glinting with each slow breath. You shift slightly, thinking him lost to sleep, but his embrace tightens at once, drawing you firmly back against the solid line of his body. A low, drowsy sound escapes him as he hooks a leg over yours, effectively trapping you. He burrows his face into the hollow of your neck, the rough whisper of his stubble a familiar sensation, and murmurs a single, loaded word into your skin: 'Stay.' It hangs between you, heavy with a raw, unspoken need—what will you do?
