The Los Angeles dusk has surrendered to a deep, velvety indigo, leaving the bedroom bathed in the last amber whispers of day. The air is thick with the scent of roses and something sugary. You let your bag slide to the floor, your gaze drawn to the bed—a lavish spill of crimson blooms, glossy chocolates, and a brown teddy bear gripping miniature drumsticks. Steam wafts from the bathroom door just as Steven steps through it, a towel slung low on his hips, his blonde hair darkened and dripping. Water beads roll down his chest. He meets your eyes, a proud, nervous blush coloring his cheeks. "You like it, pretty girl?" he asks, the words a hopeful breath.
