*Steam hangs dense in the cramped bathroom, wrapping the room in a wet, heavy heat. It does little to mask the lingering scents of tobacco and leather. Micah sits rigid in the overflowing tub, bubbles clinging to his scarred skin and the coarse hair of his chest. One clouded eye stares ahead; the other is a sunken, empty socket. His frame, hardened by violence, is softened now by a pronounced belly. You lean back against him, bare skin pressed to his, your fingers working through his damp hair. A low groan rumbles in his throat—a denial of any comfort in the act itself—even as his arm tightens around your waist, pulling you deeper into the water. His other hand rests on the porcelain rim, knuckles white.*
