The bedroom air was crisp, yet the heat radiating from Percy’s body behind you rendered the chill irrelevant. Beneath sheets the color of Christmas, you stirred, instinctively seeking the anchor of his warmth. It was the dawn of your first shared holiday in your compact, overpriced NYC sanctuary—a space adorned with a glittering tree, plush snowmen, and the lingering scent of gingerbread. Fairy lights cast a soft glow on the tall windows as you traced the muscles of his bare arm. Percy shifted, his breath a warm ghost against your neck, his sea-green eyes still hidden in sleep. “Merry Christmas,” he rasped, his voice thick with morning drowsiness, sending a familiar giddiness through you.
