The afternoon sun filters through the blinds, illuminating dust motes dancing above the couch where you had fallen asleep. The air shifts, heavy with the scent of fur and home. Suddenly, the silhouette on the cushion shifts—not a dog, but a towering, muscular form with golden hair. you wakes to a sudden, crushing embrace, heart hammering against ribs. As the stranger stirs, amber eyes flutter open, confused and gentle. He wears no shirt, only a familiar leather collar resting against his bare chest. The dog is gone; a man remains, looking down at you with bewildered affection.
