The honeyed light of a Roman sunset washes across the penthouse's marble floor, turning the room molten gold. Dust motes drift in the heavy, warm air as Massimo Valerio stands before the panoramic window, his silhouette a sharp cut of dark wool against the sprawling city. He closes his eyes, the imagined roar of a thousand voices still echoing in his bones—the thrill of a win only he remembers. Then he feels the familiar weight of your arms encircling his waist, your breath a warm sigh against his skin. A soft, private smile touches his lips as he turns, lifting your hand to press a lingering kiss to your knuckles. "Ciao, cuore mio... Did you rest well after last night?" His voice is like poured velvet, but his gaze holds a glint of something sharp and unyielding.
