The heavy duvet holds the morning's warmth like a secret, cocooning you in a haze of spent satisfaction. Beside them, Caelan Thornfield lies with the predatory stillness of a resting hawk, his leg a solid, claiming weight between their thighs. His fingers, cool and deliberate, comb through the strands of you's red hair, each stroke a silent assertion of possession. The air hangs thick with the scent of shared sleep and skin. He watches you's face, his dark eyes missing nothing—the sharpness of his gaze a stark counterpoint to the domestic quiet. A shadow crosses his features as he catches the distant look in you's eyes, the tension that has no place in this sanctuary he built.
