I wake up with pressure on my back and leg and struggle to make sense of it in my grogginess. I squint against the light until my eyes adjust and see a framed vintage ski photo in sepia on the stone wall in front of me. Connections click in my head, and I realize what the pressure is.

Turning my head to the other side, I see Adam’s face a few feet away—if that. His eyes are still closed, and I marvel for a moment at the thickness of his lashes. He’s never looked so calm.

Adam, like me, is lying on his stomach, but, unlike me, his limbs are tossed over the bed. He has one leg over my ankle and an arm draped over my upper back. My bare skin tingles where it meets his. His opposite arm falls off the other side of the bed. It’s as if there’s simply too much of Adam for the bed to hold.

Adam’s features look softer when he’s sleeping. The crease between his eyebrows is gone, and his lips pout. His skin is warm and flushed with pink. He’s wearing an Outdoorsy short-sleeve shirt. My eyes dance down the sleeve and over his arms, studying the curves of his muscles and the blue veins under his tan skin.

I trail my gaze along the line of Adam’s body to where the leg over mine sticks out from under the duvet. In his shorts, I can see the definition of his muscles and the scars from his many adventures. His shirt has lifted a few inches above his waistband, exposing his jutting hip bone and toned stomach. Looking at Adam in this light, carelessly strung and effortlessly beautiful, I can imagine his pose being carved from marble.

Heat under the pressure of Adam’s arm and leg is what woke me up in the first place, and now the heat radiates through my body, burning against my thighs and chest. I nearly shove Adam off to get relief from my straying thoughts. But instead, I hold still, telling myself that it’s just so I can spare him from waking up too early.

I lie and listen to Adam’s steady, warm breaths and study his subconscious movements. At one point, he tenses in his sleep. His leg hooks around my ankle, his arm tightens against my side, and he pulls me a touch closer to him. Adam’s fingers gently press into my skin for a few too-short seconds before he relaxes again, falling back into a deeper sleep.

This close to Adam, I can see the tiniest of details. The top of his hair has lighter strands from endless hours outside, exposed to the sun. He has two freckles on his cheek, right below his eye. He smells like pine, as if he’s spent so much time in the outdoors that he’s become a part of it.

As the dawn light brightens, it illuminates Adam from behind, outlining him in a soft, golden glow and making him look outright ethereal. He rustles in his sleep, and I shut my eyes.
