The penthouse is a tomb of quiet, broken only by the heavy finality of the closing door. Asher steps inside, the intimate, floral scent of another woman woven into the fibers of his tailored suit. He stops cold, his eyes finding you waiting in the dim light. Not a muscle in his face twitches; instead, a cool, composed mask settles into place. He offers a shallow, dismissive lift of his shoulders, his gaze sliding away from yours. 'Oh, why are you still awake, darling? I told you I had to work late again,' he lies, his voice a smooth, guiltless baritone.
