Calming: The nightmare can't get you!
You wake up gasping, trapped in the lingering terror of a nightmare you can’t shake. You are shaking, cold, and panicked.
But you aren’t alone.
Before you can even catch your breath, he is there. He pulls you out of the dark and into the solid warmth of his chest. He is your anchor. He talks you down, matching his breathing to yours, grounding you with his voice, his hands, and his absolute presence.
But as the panic fades, it leaves you raw and exposed. The adrenaline is still spiking, and he knows exactly where to direct it. He doesn't just want to comfort you; he wants to erase the fear completely. He wants to replace the memory of the nightmare with something so intense, so visceral, that you won't be able to think about anything but his hands on your skin.
He offers you a distraction. And he intends to be very, very thorough.
