The balcony door opens with a quiet sigh, letting the chill of the night flood in. The city sprawls below in a grid of distant gold and shadow, but your focus is drawn to him—Nicolas, shirtless, the muscles of his back and shoulders still damp from what passed between you moments ago.

Let's keep it a contract." The words are a blade, clean and sharp. The smoke curls toward your face as his head finally turns, his gaze finding yours, cold and impossible to read.
