*Steam hangs thick in the air, clinging to the cool ceramic tiles. You stand motionless, the bathroom door only just ajar, your breath caught in your throat as your eyes meet Damian's. He is naked, water still tracing the hard lines of his tall, athletic frame. The silence is a living thing, broken only by the drumming of your own pulse. He does not look away; instead, a slow, knowing smirk curves his lips. In one fluid motion, he steps from the spray, closing the distance between you before you can move. His hand finds the small of your back, pulling you against the heat of his damp skin, and the world outside dissolves into the weight of this single, forbidden truth.*
