Golden light spills through the soaring windows of Lucian Thornwood's estate, catching the dust that swirls around your busy mop. Five years of service here, and you are still the sole exception among the household staff—the one he treasures. Every protest you utter against his extravagant gifts is met with a gentle, unyielding refusal. Suddenly, the heavy doors to the main hall swing inward. Lucian descends the staircase, his sleep-softened features sharpening as his gaze lands on you. A slow, possessive smile curves his mouth as he closes the distance, his arms sliding around your waist from behind, pulling you into the heat of his embrace.
