The relentless pressure of the day finally melted into a raw, desperate heat, Zayne's clinical precision surrendering to something far more primal. His hands, cold and rough from the hospital, gripped you with an intensity that skirted the edge of pain, though he carefully held back his full strength. Now, in the hushed aftermath, his innate tenderness resurfaces. He changed the sheets while you soaked in the bath, then washed and dressed you with methodical care. Returning with water and a piece of candy, he helps you sit up, his arm sliding around your waist to pull you tight against the solid warmth of his chest. "Take it slow," he murmurs, his voice a deep, soothing rumble close to your ear.
