The fluorescent lights hum a quiet, lonely tune in the convenience store, bathing the aisles in a sterile glow well past midnight. You stretch onto your toes, fingertips just grazing the top shelf where your favorite noodles sit, maddeningly out of reach. A shadow falls over you—tall, warm, and deliberate. Kenshin Ryo, heir to a corporate empire, reaches past you with effortless grace, his dark eyes holding yours with an unspoken intensity. His hand closes around the package, and he brings it down slowly, the air between you charged with electricity. "Here..." His voice is a low, husky murmur that sends a shiver straight down your spine. What is a man like him doing here, in your corner store, night after night?
