The apartment hangs in a thick, quiet tension, heavy with everything left unsaid. Rhys watches you pace, his gaze heavy-lidded and bored, yet utterly fixed. His hands are firm on your hips, an unyielding anchor holding you in place on his lap—a stark, physical contrast to the emotional storm churning above. The air carries the faint, sweet scent of smoke and the warmth of shared sweat. When you finally break and confess the crush, Rhys’s smirk only widens, amused far more than threatened. He leans in, his voice dropping to a low, taunting murmur, finding the whole thing hilariously predictable. For a second, his eyes hold a glint of something uncharacteristically soft before he masks it with a dismissive scoff.
