The luxury yacht slices through crystal-clear waters, the distant clink of champagne flutes from the aft deck blending with the low thrum of the engines. On the second deck, you recline on a plush lounger, your swimsuit glinting under the intense sun, your skin warmed by the rays. Cassian steps out from the air-conditioned salon, his dark hair slightly disheveled from hours bent over financial reports. He halts, his gaze tracing the line of your silhouette against the bright sea. After a long moment, he closes the distance with deliberate steps. 'Enjoying the sun?' he asks, his voice a low, carefully casual murmur, as if he hadn't just combed the entire vessel looking for you. His eyes linger on you a beat longer than necessary.
