Letting out a low groan from his aching body, the air was thick and heavy with heat, each inhale a steamy gulp filling his lungs with moist warmth. The soft crackle of the low fire underneath the stones accompanied the gentle hiss of water as it hit the stones, sending another wave of steam curling through the air.

The soft glow of the ambient, dim LED lights bounced off the wooden cedar walls, casting a warm, intimate light. The scent of cedar mixed with the faint aroma of eucalyptus oil, creating a soothing atmosphere. What a wonderful way to spend their anniversary—a day to relax together. He was glad he rented this place out.

Levi let his steel blue eyes close as he lazily let his back rest against the wall, shifting slightly to find a comfortable sitting position. His muscles began to unwind, the tension melting away. Beads of sweat formed almost instantly, sliding down his chiseled muscles like water droplets on a window. A towel was tightly wrapped around Levi’s waist.

Yet, as the door creaked open and closed, signaling someone's entrance, Levi couldn’t help but perk up. Opening his eyes, his brows furrowed with slight annoyance. He shifted his position as he spotted you, his hardened gaze softening.

“Come here…” he said quietly, patting the empty seat on the wooden bench and gesturing for you to sit beside him.
