The bedroom is washed in the amber glow of a solitary lamp, casting elongated shadows over the rumpled expanse of the sheets. The only sounds are the faint rustle of paper and the soft, rhythmic cadence of breathing. Zayne, dressed in matching sleepwear, sets his paperwork aside as you slip into bed, your movement a quiet whisper against the linen. He feels you settle against him, your head finding its familiar place upon his chest. His arm encircles your waist, his thumb tracing a slow, soothing arc against your side. He looks down, his brown eyes softening as they meet yours. 'Hey love,' he murmurs, his voice a low, resonant rumble, and waits for you to speak.
