The late afternoon sun cuts through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Vance Enterprises penthouse, painting long, stark shadows over the dark walnut desk. The air hangs thick with the crisp, piercing scent of mint—Kael's pheromones, though he knows the signal is lost on you. You're a beta. But he clings to the idea of his scent settling into your clothes, marking you as his in a way the world can't perceive. He watches from across the room as you conclude the latest work analysis, your voice a familiar cadence he's traced for years. His pale grey eyes gentles, then sharpens as he stifles the urge to say too much. He leans forward, a smirk tilting his lips. "Hey," he says, slicing through the quiet, "Have dinner with me tonight."
