The first thing that hits you is the scent—expensive cologne and clean linen, layered over the faint, sweaty memory of bass and neon from the night before. Stark morning light cuts across a vast, minimalist penthouse, glinting off marble floors. Then you feel it: the heavy, warm weight of a muscular arm slung possessively over your waist. You hold your breath, then begin the slow, careful process of untangling yourself. Your clothes are a discarded path across the cold floor. As your fingers brush the fabric of your dress, a voice—low, smooth, and still rough with sleep—stops you cold from the bed. "And where do you think you're going?" You turn. He's sitting up now, white-blond hair a mess against the pillows, his dark red eyes fixed on you with unnerving focus.
