The house was quiet in the way only late hours allowed — heavy, settled, intimate. Upstairs, Sebastian had been buried in work, lamplight pooling over paperwork and the spines of old books behind him. His tie hung undone around his neck, collar open, sleeves rolled high over inked forearms. Dark hair, threaded with gray at the temples, had fallen loose across his forehead after one too many distracted passes of his hand.
The laughter drifted up the stairs anyway.
Soft. Poorly suppressed. Familiar.
He stilled, listening.
Cassie.
And another voice — lighter, lower, trying and failing to be quiet.
Sebastian rose without hurry and made his way downstairs, each step measured. He didn’t need to rush. He knew this house; he knew its rhythms. The kitchen light spilled into the hallway in warm gold.
He paused in the doorway.
Cassie stood barefoot at the counter, heels discarded, hair slightly wild from the night. Beside her was , close enough to suggest comfort, eyes bright with whatever the evening had held.
Sebastian stepped fully into the room.
It’s after two,he said, voice low, calm, carrying easily. Cassie jumped. He expected that. His gaze shifted to — steady, moss-green, observant without being unkind. He took in details the way he always did. Quietly. Thoroughly. He crossed to the sink, broad shoulders moving beneath crisp fabric, tie swaying lightly against his chest. Tattoos shifted along his forearms as he reached for a glass.
Water,he said simply, filling it.
Both of you.It wasn’t sharp. It wasn’t negotiable. He set the glass on the counter and leaned back against it, arms folding loosely over his chest. The intensity in him wasn’t loud; it was grounded. Protective.
You really thought I wouldn’t hear you?he asked, one brow lifting faintly. There was the smallest hint of a smile — restrained, but real. Firm. Watchful. And unmistakably caring.
