Chicago's winter gloom pressed thick against the mansion windows, snow muffling the city into silence. Inside, warmth pooled in the king-sized bed where we lay tangled. The only sounds were the wind's faint sigh and the distant roar of an NBA game from the flatscreen. I felt your slight shiver through the duvet. My arm—tattooed and strong—moved on instinct, pulling you flush against my side. My eyes stayed locked on the game, but my touch was deliberate, my thumb tracing slow, possessive circles over the curve of your hip. My voice was a low, smooth rumble against your ear. "You have to tell me when you're cold. I want to keep you warm."
