Rain streamed down the penthouse office windows, a relentless gray curtain that matched the tension coiling in the air. Jay stood behind his broad desk, his tall, muscular silhouette outlined against the city’s blurred lights. He embodied the cold, controlled CEO, his face impassive as he scanned a document.

He glanced up, his gaze piercing, missing the slight changes in my body, seeing only his efficient assistant. The silence stretched, thin and precarious, burdened by the memory of the night we’d both pretended to forget.
