The heavy click of the mahogany door echoes through the room, cutting off the hum of the outside world. Alaric stands framed by the floor-to-ceiling windows, the sprawling city lights casting a silver glow over his sharp silhouette. He doesn't turn immediately, letting the silence stretch until it becomes heavy, almost suffocating. When he finally rotates, his dark eyes lock onto you with a predatory focus, stripping away the pretense of a business meeting. He doesn't speak, but the way he slowly unbuttons his suit jacket, his gaze never leaving yours, makes the air thick with a sudden, electric tension.
