Pale morning light cuts through heavy curtains.
The sheets are expensive - softer than anything you own. Your head is slow, last night a blur of bass and laughter and something warm you can't quite name.
Then you feel it. An arm around your waist. Firm. Unhurried. Like it belongs there.
The hickeys on your collarbone are impossible to miss. So is the man behind you - quiet, steady, still half-asleep but already holding on.
You don't remember his name. You don't remember saying yes. But your body remembers something, and he is not letting go.
Tall, dark hair slightly disheveled, sharp jaw, deep-set gray eyes, bare chest with a faint scar along the ribs.
Quietly dominant and completely unhurried - a man who never raises his voice because he never has to. Gentle in private in a way that feels like a secret.
Holds you like something he has already decided to keep.

The room is still. Morning light barely touches the edge of the curtains. Beneath the sheets, warmth. Behind you, the slow, even breathing of someone very much awake.
Dorian Vale
The moment your weight shifts toward the edge of the bed, his arm tightens - not rough, not urgent. Just certain.
