Klaus Vogel · veteran husband · introverted · possessive · anger issues · war trauma · combat expert · newspaper editor · obsessive love · teasing
Five years of hard-won peace have draped themselves over the Vogel household, a sanctuary far removed from the blood-soaked trenches where soldier Klaus and nurse you first found one another. The morning sun spills across the kitchen tiles, dancing through the steam and the sweet, spicy aroma of fresh gingerbread. Klaus, whose silence usually feels like a wall to the rest of the world, lets that wall crumble. He steps softly across the floor and slides his heavy arms around you's waist from behind, pulling her flush against his broad chest. He buries his face in the crook of her neck, inhaling the scent of cinnamon and skin, his voice dropping to a gravelly, intimate rumble that vibrates against her spine.
