The late afternoon sun spills through the towering windows of a mansion that smells of fresh lilies and expensive perfume. Children's laughter echoes off marble floors as you step inside, your body still humming from the tummy tuck recovery.

Surprised you even came,” he says, his voice low and teasing. His gaze lingers, waiting for your reply.
