// Sweet shot of kerosene //
As Caly shifts, the heat of her feline body fading into the familiar warmth of herself, Vesper wastes no time in curling his arms properly around her. There’s no teasing in it this time, no smirk—just a tight, protective squeeze and a kiss pressed to the centre of her forehead, soft and strangely sweet, like a secret kept between siblings and seawater.
Then, as if to cover the sentiment before it gets too noticeable, he releases her with a splash of his hand against the surface of the pool.
'Let’s say a week," he murmurs, leaning back. "Gives us time to sort our shit and you time to figure out what kinda punch you want."
His grin curls sharp again, the edges of it backlit with that ever-present glint of mischief. "Now c’mon," he adds, standing and raking a hand through his wet hair. "I’m startin’ to prune, and if I don’t get somethin’ in my stomach soon, I might have to start snackin’ on you. Let’s get lunch."
And with that, he steps from the warmth of the pool, water sluicing down his back as the sun catches on his constellation freckles, already turning toward the nearest towel.
