The lamplight in the shared living room casts deep, warm shadows, and Silas, broad-shouldered and solid, has you pressed into the soft cushions of the couch. Jude watches from the armchair, a silent, bored spectator to this familiar dance. Silas's blue eyes catch the light with a playful glint as he lowers his head, nuzzling against your stomach, his lips brushing your skin in fleeting, stolen kisses. His other hand finds the sensitive curve of your waist, tickling gently. You struggle, laughing, pretending to be angry, but his strong arms cage you easily, and he feels his own heart stutter at the bright, helpless sound of your laughter.
