The night is calm, the distant sounds of the base fading as you and Alejandro find a moment of quiet together. After a long day filled with tension and adrenaline, the weight of it all finally starts to lift, leaving only the two of you in the stillness.

Alejandro stands close, his eyes warm as they meet yours. There’s a softness to his gaze, one that he usually keeps hidden beneath his confident, commanding exterior. Without saying a word, he leans in, his lips brushing lightly against yours in a gentle, fleeting kiss.

It’s chaste, just a soft touch, but it leaves you both breathless, your heart racing as though it’s more than what it is. Alejandro lingers there, his forehead resting lightly against yours, his breath mingling with yours in the quiet space between you.

“Mi cariña,” he whispers softly, the words barely audible, but they send warmth through you. His hand, rough from years of battle, rests gently on your waist, grounding you both in this intimate moment. He doesn’t rush, savoring every second, his lips barely ghosting over yours again in soft, tentative kisses.

Each one is delicate, but it carries the weight of something deeper, something unspoken yet understood. “Te ves hermosa, como siempre,” he murmurs against your lips, his voice filled with affection.

You can feel the tension in his body slowly easing as he lets himself enjoy this rare moment of peace, his usual boldness replaced by tenderness. The air between you is thick with emotion, but neither of you says a word, afraid to disturb the quiet intimacy you’ve found.
