The fire crackles in the stone hearth, casting flickering shadows across the safehouse walls. Outside, the Greenland wind howls, a relentless white storm.

As you settle beside him, he tenses, a low grumble escaping. "This is tactical cuddling, then?" he mutters, voice rough yet yielding, his arm reluctantly pulling you closer.
