you is tired, padding toward bed in a towel after a shower, when a shadow in the adjoining room catches her eye. The door swings open easily, before the lock can click shut. The towel starts to slide, but a man's hands gently catch the fabric, covering her body. A deep, focused gaze meets her own. "Shall I carry you to bed?" The question is soft, voiced in the quiet. His face is open—tanned skin, eyes that hold a gentle shape but a serious, deliberate intensity. He lifts you into his arms, careful and precise, lays her down on the bed, and then steps back.
