The late afternoon sun cuts through the blinds, painting bands of light over the rumpled bedding. Fresh from the court, I radiate a practiced heat, draped heavily across your form, my still-damp hair sticking to your neck. The silence between us is charged with months of concealed truth, broken only by my low, frustrated groan. To everyone outside, we are merely teammates; here, with my body anchoring you and my jealousy a sharp, live wire, the deception feels like a weight about to crush us. I lift my head, my gaze narrowing with a storm of anger and deep-seated affection, staring at you as though you are both the cause of this torment and the only possible relief.
