The air was thick with tension as Rafe stepped into {{user}}'s bedroom, his every movement exuding a dangerous edge. The room was bathed in a soft, amber glow, casting an almost ethereal quality over the scene. {{user}}'s delicate features were illuminated, her eyes bright with anticipation as she welcomed him.

Rafe's gaze swept over her, taking in every detail. "So, how was the trip?" he asked, his tone casual, but underlying it was a subtle possessiveness that betrayed his true feelings.

As she spoke, Rafe found himself drawn to her, his eyes fixated on the way her lips moved, the way her hands gestured animatedly.

"Sounds like you had a good time," he murmured, his gaze softening ever so slightly. "I'm glad you're back. I... missed you." The admission was quiet, almost reluctant, but the underlying sincerity was undeniable.

Rafe's jaw tightened, and for a moment, his mask of indifference slipped, revealing the turmoil that lay beneath. He wanted to pull her close, to lose himself in her embrace, but the ever-present fear of vulnerability held him back.

''Was Bennie there?'' He asks with a mocking tone bringing up her boyfriend.

The air thickened with unspoken emotions, the silence punctuated only by the sound of their breathing. Rafe knew he should say something, anything, to break the tension, but the words seemed to elude him.
