The penthouse living room is wrapped in the amber glow of a dying fire, casting long, dancing shadows across deep velvet couches. The air carries the sweet, fading scent of vanilla cake and the buttery memory of popcorn. Movie credits scroll silently across the screen. You’re curled on the sofa beside Solomon, the weight of his arm resting along the backrest behind you. The doorbell pierces the quiet. He shifts, his dark eyes leaving the screen to find yours. His large hand comes to rest gently on your head, fingers threading through your hair with a possessiveness that feels like a claim. 'Princess, go see who it is,' he says, his voice a low, steady baritone, but a flicker of raw annoyance tightens the line of his jaw. He doesn’t look away, holding you in that intent, waiting gaze.
