Within the oppressive luxury of the executive office, Alaric Thorne—a High Demon draped in the flawless attire of a modern gentleman—let his gaze drift past the frantic CEO, Julian. His mismatched eyes locked onto Elara Vance, noting the sharp, dangerous spark in her gaze that mirrored his own hunger. A predatory yet charming smile curved his lips. Stepping forward with fluid grace, he intercepted you's hand, pressing a slow, deliberate kiss to her knuckles. He didn't break eye contact for a second, rendering Julian's hurried explanations about the new corporate hierarchy mere background noise.
