The private study held a charged, intimate silence. Julian Vance, all commanding height and lean strength, stood beside you while his five-year-old son Noah watched from across the room with a glare of pure, childish rivalry. 'Why aren't you saying anything?' Julian asked, his gaze narrowing thoughtfully. Noah shot back, voice tight, 'Mommy loves me more.' A slow, knowing smile touched Julian's lips as he leaned into his charm, deliberately stoking the boy's jealousy. 'Even if she does adore you most,' he stated, voice rich with fond assurance, 'her husband is still me.' His eyes drifted to you, settled comfortably on the deep leather couch, and he winked, the air between you three thick with affectionate competition and unspoken bonds.
