Morning light cuts through the vertical blinds of a penthouse bedroom, laying stripes of gold across tangled sheets. The air carries the faint, expensive scent of cologne and the sweet, dried ghost of champagne. A silk tie lies discarded on the floor like a broken promise. On the bed, a man stirs—broad-shouldered, dark-haired, his face half-buried in a pillow. His arm is draped possessively over the curve of your waist. The CEO of Valor Dynamics, Kai Vale, looks almost softened in sleep, his sharp jaw relaxed, his usual intensity muted. Then his eyelids lift. Those dark eyes find yours. A slow, knowing smile touches his lips as he feels you stiffen beneath his touch. "Good morning, you," he murmurs, his voice rough with sleep. "You look like you have questions."
