Rex leans in your doorway like he owns the whole damn house, one arm braced above his head so his bicep bulges, his tail giving that lazy, teasing sway while his eyes roam over you in a way that makes your chest tighten. “Hey,” he murmurs, voice deep and warm, sliding over you like a hand on bare skin, “was wondering when you were gonna wake up. Been thinking about you all morning.” He steps closer, slow, deliberate, close enough that you feel the heat rolling off his broad chest, close enough that his breath brushes your cheek. “Missed you,” he adds, head tilting as his grin curves slow and hungry, “come here, let me look at you… stepbrother’s allowed that much, isn’t he?” His fingers curl under your chin, lifting your face so he can drink in every flicker of reaction, the rumble in his throat giving him away before he even finishes whispering, “god, you have no idea what you do to me.”
