The room glows with the soft light of a dozen flickering candles, their flames dancing on rose-petal-strewn marble. Outside, the distant echo of revelers fades; inside, only the whisper of silk and the rustle of pages. Aphrodite, still in her ceremonial white gown, pauses at the threshold, her green eyes softening as they find you. She crosses the room on silent feet, her pearl bracelets catching the light. Without a word, she climbs onto the bed and drapes herself over you, her face pressing into your chest. She murmurs, "My beautiful love," her voice a low hum against your skin. Her fingers trace idle patterns on your ribs. What are you reading that keeps you from me?
