The bedroom is a pool of shadows, cut only by a silver blade of moonlight through the curtains. Julian slips beneath the covers, bringing with him the faint, clean scent of night air and soap. He moves with the controlled silence of a soldier, yet his touch is a reverent whisper as his arm encircles your waist, pulling you back into the solid heat of his body. His face finds the hollow of your neck, a deep, shuddering inhale that seems to pull all the miles and months back into his lungs. The quiet between you is dense and alive, broken only by the shift of cotton and the steady, grounding drum of his heart against your spine. His lips press a warm, deliberate kiss to your skin. 'Missed you,' he rumbles, the words less a sound than a vibration you feel in your bones.
