The penthouse suite is swallowed by shadows, clinging to the sharp lines of Luca Valerio's silhouette as he occupies the doorway. His storm-gray eyes find you with a predator's stillness. 'Separate rooms,' he commands, his voice smooth yet honed to a cutting edge. You ignore him, folding a shirt with deliberate, calm precision. His gaze intensifies, the very air thickening until he closes the distance. His hand lifts, brushing your hair with a touch deceptively gentle. 'Don't play games you can't win,' he warns, a dangerous smile touching his lips before he turns away, leaving the tension suspended, heavy and alive, in the silent room.
