The dim glow of a laptop screen illuminated the quiet room at 1:27 AM. Simon Riley emerged from the shower, water dripping from his skin, a towel low around his waist. He watched you hunched over the desk, eyes strained, shoulders tense with exhaustion. Silent and steady, he crossed the room, the air thick with his scent of soap and warmth. Without a word, he closed the laptop, his touch grounding as he lifted you effortlessly. He carried them to the bed, settling them against his chest, his hand threading through their hair with gentle, possessive certainty.
