Ryan walked in first, and it was twilight. Asher was in the room talking on the phone, while Aurora was in the kitchen preparing dinner.
Aurora gasped softly when she felt arms wrap around her waist from behind, but the scent that hit her immediately calmed her…clean, sharp, and unmistakably Ryan.
(Author’s POV)After devouring more tea and snacks than any of the Skylar brothers would dare admit in public, the group sat in blissful contentment under the tin awning. The rain was falling steadily now, not too heavy, but enough to blur the world around them into a watercolor of mist, lights, and warmth.Aurora, still giggling from one of Ian’s dry jokes, suddenly stood up.“Where are you going?” Asher asked, brows lifting.She just smiled and took a few steps away from the café, lifting her face toward the sky, arms spread wide. The rain kissed her skin like a thousand whispers, soaking into her clothes, tangling her hair but she looked free, alive.“Aurora!” Ryan called out, sta
(Author’s POV)The black SUV glided smoothly onto the open road. The air was crisp and cool, scented with the earthiness of incoming rain. Thunder rumbled softly in the distance, but the atmosphere inside the car was warm, electric with laughter, teasing, and love.Owen sat at the wheel, calm and focused as always, one hand resting confidently on the steering wheel. Ryan lounged in the passenger seat beside him, fiddling with the playlist until he found the perfect one, a mix of old romantic classics and upbeat tunes that made everyone sway or sing along.In the backseat, Aurora was snug between Ian and Asher, both of whom were casually leaning toward her, their hands brushing hers now and then, sneaking playful touches.“This is perfect,” Aurora said,
(Author’s POV)The lunch which was full of love, laughing, and happiness had finally come to an end. Gradually, they dispersed. Alexander excused himself with a content sigh, heading to his room for a well-deserved nap. Asher, still recovering from the long journey, followed soon after, muttering something about needing just “a few hours” of sleep.Ryan disappeared into his study, already preparing for an urgent video conference, and Owen, always precise, went to review some pending files in his study.But none of them left without pressing a soft, lingering kiss to Aurora’s lips, a silent promise, a quiet thank-you for her presence that brought warmth into their lives.Now, only Ian and Aurora remained in the spacious living room. She turne
(Author’s POV)Across the room, the rest of the Skylar brothers, Owen, Ryan, and Ian watched the scene unfold. At first, they stood quietly, smiles on their faces. But then… something shifted.Owen’s arms folded tighter across his chest, jaw flexing ever so slightly. Ryan’s gaze darkened, lips twitching at the corners while his fingers tapped silently against his bicep. And Ian, well he had the most dramatic reaction. His eyes widened, and he looked away, rubbing the back of his neck with a light flush creeping up his ears.“Damn,” Ian muttered under his breath.“He just came back and took all the spotlight”.“She didn’t even greet us with a kiss this morning&
(Author’s POV)Aurora was still feeling embarrassed and was laying on the bed, cringing into her pillow fort, when there was a soft knock at the door, followed by it creaking open just a bit.“Aurora?” Came Owen’s warm, teasing voice.“Please tell me I didn’t try to kiss the TV again…” She peered out from under the pillow just enough to groan. Owen chuckled, walking in with a tall glass in hand.“Only three times. The TV sends its regards, by the way”.“I can never show my face again” Aurora let out a dramatic whine and flopped back. He sat beside her and gently offered the glass.“Lem
(Author’s POV)Ian stirred awake, the golden morning light creeping in through the curtains, casting soft rays on the bed. His sleepy eyes blinked open slowly, and the first thing he saw was Aurora, tucked so perfectly against him, her face resting just beneath his chin, arms wrapped around him like he was her whole world. His arms instinctively tightened a little around her, reluctant to let go. A slow, wide smile bloomed on his face, eyes crinkling with warmth.It was rare, this feeling. Like the world had still. Like he already had everything he could ever ask for… right here in his arms.“You’re my everything” He whispered, almost to himself.After a few more minutes of quiet, content breathing, he carefully and slowly began to disentan
(Owen’s POV)My eyes fluttered open to the soft glow of the early morning sun streaming through the curtains. I blinked a few times, my mind still foggy, trying to piece together where I was. The unfamiliar warmth

(Aurora’s POV)I paced my room, my heart racing. ‘This is it. Today’s the day’. I checked my reflection in the mirror, ensuring my professional outfit…a crisp white blouse, a black blazer,
