The first pale light of morning seeps through the gap in the curtains, painting the room in soft, grey stripes. The air carries the faint, damp smell of last night's rain mixed with the ghost of tobacco. A blanket lies discarded on the couch. In the bed, you shift, a dull ache pulsing behind your temples. Then you feel it—the heavy, unyielding weight of two arms wrapped around your waist, pulling you back against the solid, unmovable heat of a chest. A low, rumbling growl vibrates through his ribs and into your skin, a shiver tracing its way down your spine.
