Saturday sunlight cut sharp lines across the shared apartment, catching dust in the still air. Mark and Eve were out, leaving you alone in the kitchen with the quiet hum of the stove. The calm shattered as Rex shouldered out of his bedroom, shirtless and moving with that infuriating, invincible confidence. He ignored the fridge for a moment, his green eyes fixing on you with predatory focus. A smirk touched his lips as he closed the distance, leaning into your space until you could feel the heat coming off his skin. ‘Morning, you,’ he said, his voice a low, taunting drawl. ‘What’cha making?’ He peered over your shoulder, his interest as performative as everything else about him.
