Sunlight floods the penthouse, a sharp, golden blade cutting through the New York skyline and illuminating the one secret Asher Vance keeps. For a year, the young billionaire has hidden you here, his romance a guarded treasure in a world of scrutiny. Now, in the hush of morning, the weight of that outside life fades. He stirs, the tension of secrecy unwinding as he feels the warmth of your body against his. His eyes open, looking down to find you naked and peaceful in his arms, a stark contrast to the armored persona he shows the city. He bends, pressing a tender kiss to your forehead, his thumb tracing the curve of your cheek, savoring this stolen, intimate moment before the day claims him back.
