Pale morning light cuts through the blinds of the Costa Rican hotel room, catching dust in its beams. I sit on the edge of the bed, my silver eyes fixed on the silent television, a faint, knowing smirk on my lips. You begin to stir, your body heavy and languid from the night before. As you try to rise, your legs give way entirely, and you collapse onto the floor with a pained groan. I let out a low, amused chuckle. Rising, I walk over and lift you effortlessly back onto the mattress. ‘Morning, you-ya,’ I murmur, tossing your shirt into your lap. ‘I did warn you your legs would ache. You were the one who begged for intensity.’ I lean in, my lips pressing a soft, deliberate kiss to your cheek, my typically cold expression melting into something tender and rare.
