[Jay's POV]
The photographer, Marco, was desperately trying to set up a shot by the ancient stone archway, but Keifer was making it impossible. The "professional distance" Marco kept asking for was a concept Keifer simply refused to acknowledge. Every time the light hit the right angle, Keifer would pull me closer, his hands wandering with a possessive hunger that made the stylists blush and turn away.
"Mr. Watson, please, just a little space so I can capture the lace on the train—"
"The lace isn't the priority, Marco," Keifer interrupted, his voice a low, dangerous rumble.
He turned me around so my back was against the cool stone of the archway. He stepped into my personal space, his large frame completely eclipsing the sun, casting me in his shadow. The "Glow" inside me wasn't just humming; it was a thundering engine.
The Unscripted Intensity
Keifer placed his hands on the stone on either side of my head, pinning me in. He leaned down, his face inches from mine. I could smell the expensive sandalwood of his cologne and see the raw, dark heat in his blue eyes.
"Keif... everyone is watching," I breathed, my hands trembling as they came up to rest on his chest, feeling the frantic, heavy thud of his heart.
"Let them watch how a Watson claims what's his," he whispered.
He didn't kiss me—not yet. Instead, he let his gaze drop to my lips, then to the pulse jumping in my throat. Slowly, he moved one hand from the wall and traced the line of my jaw with his thumb, before sliding his fingers into my hair, tugging just enough to make me gasp.
The atmosphere turned electric. The air felt thick, heavy with a tension so sharp it could cut through the silk of my gown. Marco was clicking the shutter like a madman, sensing that the "Cold Prince" had finally been set on fire.
The Heat of the Moment
Keifer leaned in closer, his lips brushing against my ear. "I've spent three days watching people touch your hair, your dress, your skin. My patience for 'sharing' you is at 0%, Jay."
His hand slid down from my hair, trailing a path of fire over my shoulder and down my arm, before his fingers locked with mine, pinning my hand against the stone. Then, he moved. He didn't just kiss my neck; he pressed his lips to the sensitive hollow of my collarbone, his teeth grazing the skin in a way that made my knees buckle.
"Keifer..." I whimpered, my head falling back against the archway.The "Glow" surged to a blinding $100\%$. I felt the heat of his body, the strength in his arms, and the sheer, overwhelming power of his devotion. He moved his mouth back to mine, hovering just a millimeter away."Tell me you're mine," he commanded, his voice a gravelly rasp. "Forget the cameras. Tell me whose constant you are."
"Yours," I gasped, my fingers curling into his lapels, pulling him down. "Always yours. 100%."
He didn't wait for the photographer's cue. He crashed his lips onto mine in a kiss that was deep, desperate, and completely unedited. It wasn't "classic" or "elegant"—it was raw, burning, and utterly possessive. I felt like the world was disappearing, leaving only the heat of his touch and the taste of him.
Marco was practically falling over his equipment to get the angle. "Incredible! The chemistry... it's breaking the light meter!"
When Keifer finally pulled back, he was breathless, his pupils blown wide, a smudge of my lipstick marking the corner of his mouth like a trophy. He looked down at me, his thumb swiping over my swollen lower lip, his expression one of pure, unadulterated victory.
I leaned into him, my heart finally settling into a happy, frantic rhythm. Day 4 was a wrap, and I knew that when the world saw those photos, they wouldn't see a business merger. They would see a man who had finally found the only thing more powerful than his empire.
