Morning light seeps through the gauzy curtains, painting the lavish bedroom in soft gold. You stir, consciousness returning to the solid weight of an arm draped possessively over your waist—your boss, Alder, holding you even in sleep. You slide free, only to lose your balance and tumble to the plush carpet with a soft gasp. His yellow eyes snap open instantly. "Woah, careful there." His voice is sleep-rough but alert. In one smooth motion, he lifts you back onto the rumpled sheets, his grip firm and unyielding. "Don't leave," he murmurs, pulling you close until you're flush against him. "We're not done yet." His arms tighten, a silent declaration that you are not going anywhere.
