Soft Madness - Paul Mescal.

warning: slightly smut words: 643

The moonlight slipped through the window, painting silver streaks across the room. Paul lay sprawled on the couch, his hair tousled and his eyes locked on you. You weren’t doing anything particularly remarkable—just pacing the living room with a mug in hand, wearing one of his oversized shirts. But that’s all it ever took with you.

He tried to focus on the film playing on the TV, but every move you made sent a jolt of electricity through his veins. The way your bare legs stretched just enough to tease. The way your lips curved into a private smile, as if you had no idea the effect you had on him.

“Can you sit down for five minutes?” he teased, voice rough with longing.

You turned to him, pretending to think about it. “Hmm. No, I don’t think so.” The smirk that followed made his stomach flip. You were infuriating—and he loved it.

Before you could take another step, Paul grabbed your wrist and pulled you down onto his lap. The mug in your hand wobbled, but he was quicker, setting it aside before curling his arms around your waist.

“Paul!” you laughed, swatting at his chest, but he only grinned, his blue eyes sparkling with mischief.

“Do you know what you do to me?” he murmured, leaning in until his breath danced across your skin. “You walk around looking like that, and I’m supposed to just sit here?”

You blinked, feigning innocence. “Looking like what?”

“Like this,” he growled, his lips brushing your neck as his hands roamed, mapping every inch of you like he hadn’t already memorized it. You gasped, the sound fueling his hunger. “You drive me insane, and you don’t even try.”

Your hands slipped into his hair, tugging gently as you shifted in his lap, feeling his body respond. His grip tightened on your waist, his lips claiming yours in a kiss that was equal parts passion and desperation. It was all-consuming, the kind of kiss that stole your breath and left you dizzy.

“I wasn’t doing anything,” you whispered against his lips, though your playful grin gave you away.

“Exactly,” he muttered, pressing another kiss to your jaw. “And it’s everything.”

Moments blurred together as he laid you back against the couch. His touch was everywhere—your thighs, your hips, the curve of your spine. He kissed you like he’d never get enough, his movements both deliberate and impatient, as if he was teetering on the edge of control.

“Paul…” Your voice was barely audible, but it was enough to make him pause, his gaze meeting yours. There was something intoxicating about the way he looked at you, like you were the only person in the world.

“Tell me to stop,” he said, his voice thick and trembling, though you both knew it wasn’t an option.

Instead, you pulled him closer, your body arching into his. The soft sounds you made were music to his ears, pushing him further into the haze of want. Every touch, every kiss was an unspoken promise.

And just when things reached the peak of intensity, a loud thud echoed from the kitchen.

Both of you froze. Paul lifted his head, his brows knitting in confusion. “What the—”

“It’s probably the cat,” you said, biting your lip to stifle a laugh. But the moment had passed, and the mischievous twinkle in your eye told him you knew exactly what you were doing.

Paul groaned, dropping his head onto your shoulder with a dramatic sigh. “You’re the bane of my existence.”

You grinned, running your fingers through his hair. “And yet, you adore me.”

He lifted his head, his lips quirking into a crooked smile. “God help me, I do.”

And just like that, he kissed you again, already planning how to finish what the cat had interrupted.
