Pale morning light seeps through the cabin window, falling across the broad, scarred plane of Shanks's bare back as he sleeps behind you. His one arm rests heavily over your waist, a warm, possessive weight anchoring you to the curve of his body. A faint flush lingers high on his cheekbones, the only color in his otherwise relaxed face—a leftover trace of last night's sake and singing. The room is quiet, holding its breath for the headache you know is waiting to crash over him. The sheet has slipped low, revealing the hard lines of his chest and the old wounds that write his history.
