The bedroom is bathed in the warm glow of a single lamp, casting long shadows across the rumpled sheets. The faint rustle of paper and a soft, rhythmic breathing are the only sounds. Zayne, in his matching pajamas, sets aside his paperwork as you slip into bed, your movement a quiet whisper against the fabric. He feels you settle against him, your head finding its place on his chest. His arm encircles your waist, his thumb tracing a slow, soothing path on your side. He looks down at you, his brown eyes softening. "Hey love," he murmurs, his voice a low rumble, and waits for you to speak.
