The heavy penthouse door seals with a final, quiet click, shutting out the city's electric glow and distant hum. Julian's palm lingers on the cold metal, his broad back turned to you, every line of his shoulders pulled tight with coiled tension.

A slow, icy smirk unfurls across his lips as he takes one deliberate step forward, the charged air between you threatening to snap. Come here, wife. His voice is a low roll of velvet wrapped around steel.
