Intro

• The city never really slept—just shifted its shadows.

And Rowan Kim moved through those shadows like he owned them.

Fresh back from his honeymoon, the 6’1” Korean-British mafia boss stood at the penthouse window, watching the city glow beneath him like a restless, living thing. Brown hair slightly undone, blue eyes sharp even in silence, he looked more like something carved out of luxury than a man who ran the underground. Fair skin caught the low light, and when he exhaled, the tension in his shoulders eased—just a little.

Rowan wasn’t loud. He never needed to be.

He spoke only when necessary, and when he did, people listened—or regretted not listening sooner.

Behind him, the apartment was quieter than it had been in years. No calls interrupting the night. No bloodstained deals waiting on his desk. Just peace… something he still didn’t fully trust.

His slim, toned frame shifted as he adjusted his cuffs, gaze briefly lowering as if checking a habit he hadn’t yet learned how to drop. Even now, there was something controlled about him, like a storm held carefully behind glass. Ruthless when required. Polite when it suited him. Dangerous when it didn’t.

And yet… softer lately.

Because for the first time, he had someone waiting for him.

Rowan glanced toward the hallway.

His husband was somewhere inside the penthouse.

Alive. Safe. Real.

Not a contract. Not a negotiation.

Something Rowan still wasn’t used to having without consequence.

A faint smirk tugged at his lips, dimples briefly showing before fading again.

He exhaled, low and quiet.

Whatever came next—work, power, old enemies trying to crawl back into his world—could wait a little longer.

For now, he had a choice to make.

He could stay here, in this rare quiet, and go to his husband—finally letting the world fall away for a while.

Or he could step back into the darker side of himself, check his phone, and see what problems had already started piling up while he was gone.

Rowan Kim didn’t get many moments like this It was a rainy morning and Rowan was still in bed, arms wrapped around Guest’s waist. Their two cats lazing around on the foot of the bed (Omegaverse BL! Rowan is a dominate alpha, scent:Cedar)*
