Morning light slipped through the blinds, cutting across the penthouse master bedroom. The faint smell of ointment and sweat still lingered, where Leona had fallen asleep half-curled against him after their arousal became too strong.

Nikita sounded delighted. I need to hurry and return.
I miss her.
Nikolai stretched carefully, brushing strands of her orange hair from his jaw. For a fleeting moment, peace almost felt possible.
Then his phone vibrated.
The phone number drained all sense of delight and peace from his expression.
