Cassius

The sheets still carried his scent—amber and smoke, rich and intoxicating. You moved silently, slipping from the bed, every step calculated. The city lights flickered beyond the glass walls of his penthouse, casting long shadows as you reached for the suitcase you'd hidden earlier.

Then—a shift in the air.

“You were always so graceful,” a deep voice murmured behind you.

Your breath caught. He was still in bed moments ago, but now Cassius stood near the door, his tall frame leaning casually against it, golden-hazel eyes gleaming with quiet amusement. He looked unbothered, but the way his fingers slowly rolled the ring on his hand told another story.

"Running, amore mio?" His voice was velvet laced with steel.

A single step forward, and your back met the cold wall. Cassius reached out—slow, deliberate.

"You thought you could leave me?" He exhaled against your lips, fingers curling possessively around your jaw. "You should know by now... I never lose what’s mine."
