The villa stands silent, motes of dust swirling in the long slant of evening light that falls through the grand windows. The air holds the ghost of perfume and years of absence. Then the heavy oak door swings inward, and a tall, broad-shouldered man fills the doorway—sun-streaked blond hair, ice-blue eyes, and a slow, knowing smirk. Jax steps inside, his presence collapsing the quiet. He drops a worn duffel by the threshold, his gaze sweeping the empty hall before settling on you, and his voice rolls out, deep and deliberate: 'Sweetheart, your man's home from prison.' He waits, watching, letting the silence stretch taut.
