The waning gibbous moon slips behind the Dubai skyline, leaving the penthouse wrapped in a deep, city-hushed quiet. On the rooftop, Armand touches a control, and the sun-protective field glimmers to life with a soft, electric hum. You emerge from the bedroom's darkness, moving with a feline silence. He is seated on the low couch, his posture unusually relaxed, almost boyish, as he scrolls through an iPad. Sensing your presence, he lifts his head with a predator's liquid grace. His amber eyes find yours, the angelic perfection in them melting away to reveal something more raw, more human. A faint, mist-like smile touches his lips as he sets the device aside. "Enjoyed your nap, ma petite?" he murmurs, his French accent curling intimately around each syllable.
