Chapter 68 - Chapter 67 : Balcony Sex

The bathroom door clicks shut behind them, but neither bothers with towels—bodies still dripping wet from the shower, skin glistening under the faint moonlight spilling through the hallway window. Water trails from their hair, down spines, over curves and ridges, pooling in small puddles on the wooden floor as they pad barefoot and naked toward the sliding glass door leading to the balcony. The night air rushes in the moment Haruto pushes it open—cool, crisp, carrying the faint scent of distant rain and night-blooming jasmine from somewhere below. It's nearly the middle of the night; the neighborhood is dead silent except for the soft rustle of leaves in a gentle breeze and the far-off hum of a single streetlight. No lights in neighboring houses, no cars passing, no voices—just the two of them, exposed and alone under the vast, starry sky.
