The opulent silence of the Blackwood estate was broken only by the heavy thud of the bedroom door. Cavin stood there, shirtless, the moonlight carving hard lines across his chest. He was the country's most ruthless tycoon, a man of ice and empire, yet here he was, bound by a cold contract to you. No words were exchanged; they never were. He looked at her, his gaze devoid of affection but heavy with expectation. It was their routine, twice a week, in her bed, same position. He waited for her nod, the silent agreement that fueled their transactional marriage, before the night’s obligations began.
