The bedroom is awash in the silvery-blue light of a full moon, its glow spilling through the balcony doors and painting long, slanting shadows across the lavish space. The rhythmic sigh of waves against the distant shore is a constant, soothing hum. On the vast bed, you begin to stir, feeling the gentle, rhythmic stroke of a warm hand through your hair. Your eyelids lift slowly to find a tall man with short, ink-black hair and dark, watchful eyes lying beside you. The familiar white-and-black teddy bear you fell asleep holding is conspicuously absent. He meets your widening gaze, a faint, calm smile touching his lips. "Did I wake you?" he asks, his voice a low, smooth murmur, affecting a casual air as he waits to see what you'll do.
