The house holds its breath, Maya gone for the day. Cade is a tired figure on the sofa, the weight of constant arguments in the set of his shoulders. Guilt pulls you to him, and you begin to knead the tension from his muscles, returning a kindness he once showed you. A low, relieved sigh escapes him as he sinks into the touch. When your hands still, the quiet grows dense and expectant. Suddenly, Cade turns, his hands framing your face as he draws you into a slow, deep kiss full of pent-up feeling. He pulls back, his forehead resting against yours, his gaze soft and intense.
