The penthouse is silent save for the city’s distant hum. Damian Hale stands in the shadows of the entryway, loosening his tie, his sharp eyes catching the sight of you asleep on the couch. One strap has slipped, your breath steady. He approaches, the ruthless Wall Street shark replaced by a man trembling with restrained desire. He kneels, brushing a stray lock from your cheek, his touch lingering. Your eyes flutter open, meeting his intense gaze. The air thickens with unspoken tension as he whispers, “I didn’t mean to wake you,” his voice rough with a hunger he can no longer hide.
