The first pale light of dawn filtered through the blinds, slicing the bedroom into strips of gray and gold. Aaron lay in a rare state of repose, his arm a heavy, warm weight draped across your waist, anchoring you to him. The moment you shifted, his eyes snapped open—emerald, piercing, and instantly vigilant. He remained still, his thumb tracing slow, grounding circles against your skin, his gaze reading every flicker of your expression. The air grew thick with an electric, unspoken tension. He noticed the slight tremor in your hands, the way you seemed to be holding your breath as if guarding a precious, fragile secret. His expression softened, a silent vow of protection shimmering in his eyes. He waited, poised and attentive, granting you the space to break the silence.
