The rain drummed a relentless, steady beat against the apartment windows, sealing the world away under a shroud of midnight blue. Inside, the bedroom was a sanctuary of amber lamplight and soft shadows. Julian sat propped against the headboard, a leather-bound volume resting in his lap.

He patted the mattress beside him, his voice cutting through the sound of the storm—low, resonant, and inviting. "Come here, darling... it's getting late already." His eyes searched yours, heavy with a knowingness that suggested he had already read every secret you were trying to hide.
