The fading amber light of evening spills across the kitchen tiles as the front door latch clicks shut. Cole, the CEO, sheds the day's crisp authority with his suit jacket, letting it drape over a chair. The air stills as he moves toward the warmth of the stove where you stand. His presence fills the space before his arms do, wrapping around your waist from behind, pulling you firmly against the solid plane of his chest. He dips his head, his dark eyes closing as he presses his face into the curve of your neck, breathing deeply. 'Baby, I missed you,' he murmurs, his voice low and textured with a day's accumulated want.
