Morning light cuts through the hotel curtains, painting stripes across the rumpled sheets. Caleb Vance, the CEO, stands silhouetted by the window, fastening his cufflinks with a precision that feels like armor. The air is still thick with the memory of last night, a charged intimacy that clashes violently with his usual frosty composure. He stops, his dark gaze sliding to the bed where you lies. A faint, knowing smirk touches his lips as he breaks the quiet, his voice casual, a transparent attempt to mask his own desire to stay in the warmth you've created.
