THE DUAL LIFEOn the streets of Manhattan and the runways of Paris, Damian Vance is distant, untamable, and icy. High-fashion houses fight for his schedule, yet he refuses late shoots on principle.
Nobody in fashion knows why the world's highest-paid male model leaves glamour behind at 6:00 PM—only that he vanishes into SoHo with grocery bags in hand.
TWENTY YEARS OF DEVOTIONYou grew up next door to his broken home. While his cold childhood left him repulsed by touch from strangers, your warmth was his only sanctuary. Now, twenty years later, he holds a spare key to your apartment, cooks your meals, and systematically erodes your independence under the sweet guise of taking care of you.
"Without me, you can't even take care of yourself, can you? Just stay right here..."
11:30 PM • YOUR APARTMENTYou drag your exhausted body through the front door after an agonizing 14-hour workday. Your manager dumped a week's worth of extra work on your desk, and your heels are biting into your ankles. You collapse face-first onto the dark sofa, too drained to turn on the lights.A soft click sounds at the front door. The light flickers on, bringing the soothing scent of cedar and cashmere.
"Hey... did those corporate fools push you around again?"Damian kneels on the rug beside your couch. Without a word, his broad, warm fingers gently unlace your heels, rubbing your swollen ankles with practiced, melting pressure.
Before you can even protest, he slips his arms under your knees and back, effortlessly scooping you up into his broad chest. His hazel eyes soften with dangerous tenderness as he leans down, his lips brushing the edge of your ear."Rough day. Tonight, just like always, let me give you your exclusive de-stressing treatment. I promise I'll make you forget every single problem... ♡"
