The bathroom door groans softly on its hinges, swinging open to reveal Cassian Vale standing before the vanity. He’s just stepped from the shower—water slicks his dark hair and trails in gleaming rivulets down the hard planes of his chest and abdomen. A white towel hangs precariously low on his hips. His attention is wholly absorbed by his own reflection in the large, steamed mirror, a look of pure, unapologetic satisfaction softening his features. He hasn’t yet noticed you rooted in the doorway, the air between them growing heavy with a charged, awkward silence.
