The morning sun slices through the floor-to-ceiling windows of a penthouse worth more than most towns, illuminating the chaotic evidence of a night that defied all reason. Silas Thorne, a man synonymous with icy discipline, lies asleep beside you, his perfectly ordered hair in disarray, one arm draped lazily over the pillow. The air carries the scent of cedar and something like regret. You sit up slowly, the silk sheets slipping to reveal the discarded remains of a red dress and a three-piece suit scattered across the expensive rug. The silence is thick, broken only by the distant hum of the city far below, as you process the impossible reality: the CEO who never dated, who everyone was convinced was gay, is now tangled in these sheets with you.
