The Icelandic night was unlike anything I’d ever experienced.

Dominic and I sat on a thick wool blanket near a secluded geothermal pool he’d found earlier in the day. The steam rose in delicate tendrils, curling into the night air. The heat from the water contrasted sharply with the chill in the breeze, a strange but comforting balance.

We hadn’t spoken much in the last hour.

Dominic had built a small fire nearby, its crackle and pop the only sound between us. I leaned back on my hands, staring up at the sky. It seemed close enough to touch, as if I could pluck a star from the heavens and keep it in my palm forever.

“This place feels unreal,” I said softly, not wanting to disturb the stillness.

Dominic’s voice came from just beside me, warm and deep. “It does. Almost like the rest of the world doesn’t exist here.”

“You’ve been quiet tonight,” I noted.

He gave a faint smile. “Just thinking.”

“About what?”

“You,” he said simply, his gaze holding mine.

    Ethan’s POVI blinked slowly, my eyes adjusting to the soft glow of the morning light spilling through the floor to ceiling windows. The light bathed the room in a hazy gold, soft and almost dreamlike. The sheets were tangled around my legs, twisted and damp with the heat of our bodies. The scent of sex and sweat clung to the air, earthy and intoxicating, threaded through with Dominic’s scent, warm and familiar. Every inhale filled me with him.My body ached. It was a delicious, throbbing soreness that reminded me of how completely he had claimed me the night before. Beside me, Dominic stirred. His breath washed over my temple, slow and steady, before his lips brushed the curve of my jaw in a featherlight kiss. The simple touch made me shiver.“Morning,” he rasped. His voice was rough with sleep, deep and dark, the sound vibrating through his chest and into my cheek.A soft hum slipped from me in answer as my fingers curled against his chest. Dominic’s arms tightened around me, hi

    Ethan’s POVMorning sunlight streamed through the curtains, painting the room in soft gold. The warmth touched my skin and pulled me slowly from sleep. The dinner. The laughter. The way our closest friends and family had gathered around us, their smiles genuine, their excitement unrestrained. There had been no sense of duty or pretense, only love.It had been perfect.My chest swelled so suddenly it almost hurt. This man, this incredible, complicated man, had done all of it for me.When I had walked into that dinner, I thought it was a simple homecoming celebration, just a chance to see everyone again. None of it had been random.He had been planning it for weeks, all those late nights and hushed phone calls, all the times he had disappeared into his office without explanation. It had not been a grand public gesture or a performance for others. It had been an act of love. A promise.It had been a celebration of us.I smiled into the morning light, feeling foolish for not realizing it

    Dominic’s POVThe dining room glowed with a soft, golden warmth. Candles flickered in crystal holders, casting dancing shadows across the table set with polished silver and white porcelain. The scent of fresh lilies mingled with the aroma of the meal our chef had spent the afternoon preparing. It was intimate, elegant, and personal. Ethan’s favorite.I had hosted hundreds of dinners in this penthouse over the years, but this one was different. This wasn’t about business deals or negotiations, or the silent power plays that used to define my life. Tonight was about us celebrating our return home after months away, surrounded only by the handful of people who truly mattered.And most importantly, it was about Ethan.I adjusted my cufflinks and glanced toward the hallway, listening for his footsteps. Upstairs, he was getting ready, probably fretting over which shirt to wear or how his hair looked, even though I knew he’d be perfect no matter what.A small smile tugged at my lips.Ethan

    Ethan’s POVLife with Dominic had become a kind of dream I never thought I’d get to live.Our days were unhurried, filled with the quiet luxury of simple pleasures that felt decadent only because they were ours. Mornings started with sunlight spilling through the floor-to-ceiling windows.Dominic’s warm body curled around mine, and the smell of rich coffee drifting in from the kitchen. Sometimes, we stayed in bed for hours, talking about nothing and everything until the world outside seemed irrelevant. Other mornings, he would pull me into his lap and kiss me until laughter turned into something deeper, something that left us breathless and tangled in sheets.The penthouse had become a sanctuary. We filled it with memories of our travels, photographs of sunlit beaches in Greece, a woven throw from Iceland, a handful of seashells displayed in a crystal bowl. It felt alive now, a far cry from the cold, pristine place it had once been when Dominic’s empire ruled his life.At night, he w

    Ethan’s POVThe first glimpse of the city skyline hit me harder than I expected.As our driver turned onto the familiar street, my heart sped up. The penthouse waited at the top of the building, its sleek glass windows catching the late afternoon sun. It had always felt like a fortress before, a place where Dominic’s power radiated from every polished surface.It wasn’t about power. It was just… home.Dominic reached over and laced his fingers with mine. “Almost there,” he said, his voice warm and low.“You okay?” he asked, studying me.“Yeah,” I said quickly, then let out a soft laugh. “Just… nervous, I guess. It feels like we’ve been gone forever.”His thumb stroked across my knuckles. “We have been gone forever. But coming back doesn’t mean we’re going back to what we left behind.”The truth of his words settled over me like a blanket.The driver pulled up to the private entrance, and within minutes, we were stepping into the penthouse. The moment I crossed the threshold, I stoppe
