The aroma of freshly brewed coffee lingered in the quiet air, curling like smoke around the edges of the open window. The city outside was barely awake, silver light pouring into the penthouse and painting everything in a soft, muted gold.

Alejandro stood beside the window, his broad shoulders wrapped in the glow of dawn, a mug in his hand. The steam rose to kiss his face as he took a slow sip, his gaze inevitably falling to the bed, to the woman tangled in the sheets.

Nivera.

Her hair was a dark spill against the pillow, her face softened by sleep, lips slightly parted. The sheet was drawn loosely across her and the early light caressed her skin, highlighting the faint love bites scattered along her neck and shoulder. His marks.

His eyes lingered on the spot where his mouth had claimed her the night before, and he couldn’t help the small, proud smirk that tugged at his lips.

Mine.

The thought came unbidden, fierce and possessive.

—

She had no idea how close she’d come to driving him mad the night before not just with desire, but with the mere sound of her saying his name like it was something sacred.

He took a slow sip of his coffee, eyes still fixed on her and he made his way to her. He hadn’t planned for any of this. But after he’d finally said the words – after days of holding back everything had unraveled. Every wall he’d built crumbled beneath her touch.

After the first time, when she trembled against him and whispered his name in disbelief, he’d known there would be no stopping. One round had never been enough for him – not with her. He’d taken her to bed again, slower this time, worshiping the woman who somehow managed to infuriate and complete him all at

once.

Now, in the stillness, she looked fragile unrestrained hunger just hours ago.

He let his free hand brush a stray lock of hair from her face. She didn’t stir. His thumb traced the edge of her jaw before moving down to her neck, where the faint mark bloomed. His grin deepened.

A reminder. A declaration.

that he would stand by while she drifted back to

The silly girl had thought he would let her walk away Damon. The very idea made something dark twist inside him.

He’d made sure that Damon was nowhere near her – not after the runway night, not ever again. He’d drawn that line in blood and steel, quietly, efficiently, without her even knowing.

He took another sip of coffee, exhaling slowly. Inside this room, there was calm.

His phone buzzed against the nightstand, its vibration love and pertinent, pulling him out of his daze The world outside was still charth- messages meetings, warnings But right now, in this mall pocket of peace. none of that mattered

He glanced at the screen – a message from Martin- and sighed quietly. He’d deal with y later

When he looked back, she was stirring. Alejandro paused, watching her blink awake, her lashes fluttering Her sleepy eyes found him, and a soft smile ghosted across her lips.

“Morning,” she murmured, her voice still husky with sleep.

He smiled faintly, setting the cup down. “Morning, Cabezota.”

She rolled onto her side, the sheet slipping lower, and his eyes darkened as he was staring at her naked body. “You’re staring,” she teased softly.

“Can you blame me?” His voice was low, rough with fond amusement. “After last night, you expect me not to?” Her cheeks flushed, and she pulled the sheet higher, though her smile gave her away. “You’re impossible.”

He leaned closer, one knee on the bed. “You weren’t saying that a few hours ago,” he whispered near her ear making sure to gently nip it causing her to shudder.

“You’re insufferable, Alejandro,” she exhaled shakily.

He bent down and kissed the corner of her mouth, soft at first, then firmer when she sighed into it. “You love it,” he murmured against her lips.

“Maybe,” she whispered back, and his grin widened.

He brushed his fingers through her hair, tracing slow circles at the back of her neck. “Did you sleep well?”

“Mhm. Tired,” she said, her voice melting into a sleepy hum. “Whose fault do you think that is?”

“Mine,” he said without hesitation, pride lacing his tone. “And I regret nothing.”

Her laughter filled the room, warm and soft.

He kissed her again, slower this time, his thumb brushing over her cheek. “You’re beautiful when you laugh,” he said quietly.

She smiled shyly, looking away. “Stop saying things like that.”

“Why? Don’t tell me you’re embarrassed?”

“I’m not,” Nivera lied though the shade of red that appeared on her cheeks betrayed her.

As much as he wouldn’t mind continuing their activities, he knew she needed to rest as he had overworked her. The fact that she didn’t stir when he was bathing her after they were done told him that.

They sat in silence for a moment, the sound of the city faint in the distance. Then, as his hand trailed along

her arm, a small thought crossed his mind, and his expression shifted slightly.

He watched her, curious, then asked. “Nivera Damon. That was all an act, wasn’t in

She blinked, caught off guard. “What?”

He tilted his head, studying her with that perceptive look that missed nothing. “You used him. To get a reaction out of me.”

Her lips parted. “You figured that out, huh?”

A slow smirk curved his mouth. “Took me a while. I didn’t want to admit it at first.”

She sighed, then smiled faintly. “I was tired of not knowing what we were, Alejandro. You’d pull me close one second and push me away the next. I had to take matters into my own hands.”

He let out a low chuckle, shaking his head. “My naughty vixen. Mhm.” He brushed his lips over her temple. “You tricked me into saying what I wasn’t ready to admit.”

“You were waiting for the right time,” she said, teasing. “When exactly was that going to be? When I was eighty?”

He laughed, a deep sound that vibrated in his chest. “Maybe when you stopped driving me insane.”

“Never gonna happen.”

He kissed her again, lingering this time. When he finally pulled back, his smile softened. “For the record, I was waiting for the right time because I didn’t want to scare you off. You deserved something steady, not… whatever I was before.”

Her hand found his. “You’re still infuriating,” she whispered.

He pressed her hand to his lips. “And you love me anyway, Cabezota.”

She rolled her eyes, but the faint pink on her cheeks gave her

away.

After a moment, she asked, “Alejandro?”

“Mhm?”

“What does ‘Cabezota‘ mean?”

He froze, then laughed quietly. “You only just thought to ask that now?”

“I’ve been meaning to, but things kept happening,” she said defending herself. “So, what does it mean?”

He grinned. “Literally, it means ‘big head.’ Figuratively… it means ‘stubborn.”

Her eyes narrowed. “Big head?”

He chuckled, reaching out to tap her forehead lightly. “Sí. You know, when we first met —

She gasped, pretending to look offended “You’re awful!”

He laughed harder, unable to help himself. “It’s true. You were this tiny thing with a temper ten times your

size.”

She shoved him lightly, but he caught her hand before it landed another playful hit. “And the stubborn part

He brought her fingers to his lips again, his laughter fading into something softer. “That part is my favorite
