Pale morning light slants through the high windows of his study, painting long, stark stripes across the polished floorboards. The air is thick with the rich scent of dark roast and his faint, woody cologne. You stir within the cool embrace of his silk sheets, the heated memories of the senior gala still imprinted on your skin.

A slow, knowing smile curves his lips. "Good morning." The words are a challenge, dropped into the quiet room, waiting for you to pick them up.
