Her eyes fluttered open, heavy with sleep, and she saw him, kneeling beside the bed, a pristine white cloth in his hand. He moved with a quiet focus, his dark eyes fixed on her, not on the task. The air, crisp and clean, held the faint scent of antiseptic and something subtly floral, a stark contrast to the musky aftermath of their night.
“Morning, enemy,” he murmured, his voice a low thrum that vibrated through the mattress. His thumb, calloused yet gentle, wiped away a sticky residue from her skin, his gaze tracking the movement. He dipped the cloth into a bowl of warm water on the nightstand, then wrung it out, the fabric whispering against itself.
