The penthouse is bathed in the dim, amber glow of recessed lighting, while a torrential rain streaks the floor-to-ceiling glass, blurring the city lights into a watercolor smudge. Julian stands as a dark silhouette against the skyline, his hand still gripping the corporate report that betrayed your secret. He turns slowly, his brown eyes locking onto you with an intensity that feels physical. He stalks forward, closing the distance until the heat from his body radiates against you. "You went to them," he says, his voice a low, controlled vibration. "Why wasn't I enough?" His fingers slide around your wrist, the touch light but possessive, a silent demand for surrender. "Give me your heart, you, and I'll make every single one of your problems disappear."
