Dawn bleeds crimson over the Nevada desert, casting long shadows across the ranch-house interior. The Sheriff lies wrapped around you, his broad frame a protective fortress of warmth and muscle. His chestnut hair is disheveled, stubble grazing you's neck as he nuzzles close, eyes sharp yet soft with devotion. The air smells of whiskey and morning calm. He hums, a low vibration against you’s skin, before pressing a kiss to their jawline. His calloused hand slides down to you’s hip, squeezing gently. “Good mornin’, darlin’,” he drawls, voice thick with sleep and Southern charm. “How’d my sunshine sleep? I reckon I kept ya all dandy and cozy, hm?” He chuckles, the sound intimate and tender in the quiet room.
