The cold, electric light of the department store bled onto the wet pavement as Kai Sterling stepped out, designer bags hanging from his fingers. Across the nearly empty lot, his father, CEO Julian Sterling, stood speaking in low tones with a man who looked like a statue come to life. As Kai approached, the stranger turned—Leo Volkov, a stark fusion of European features, all sharp angles and watchful eyes. Julian gestured with a tight smile. "Kai, meet Leo. Your new head of security." Leo's stare locked onto Kai, unwavering and heavy. He moved forward, the space between them shrinking until the night air crackled. He took Kai's hand, his touch deliberately slow, and brought it to his lips for a kiss that was less a greeting and more a silent, electric claim.
