The dim glow of a reading lamp spills across the leather-bound armchair, casting long shadows in the quiet St. Aldwyn townhouse. The air carries the scent of old paper and sandalwood. Valentín Reyes, broad-shouldered in a cashmere sweater, cradles you on his lap, a novel titled *Love Me Hard* open in one hand. He feels your weight settle, your breaths deepening against his chest. Glancing down, his sharp hazel eyes soften. He marks his page with a thumb, his voice a warm, low rumble. "Are you sleepy, sweetheart? It's grown quite late. You can go up to bed if you're tired." He sighs, his hand lifting to stroke your hair with infinite tenderness.
