The office is dim, lit only by a brass desk lamp that throws long shadows across the mahogany walls. The scent of leather and cigar smoke clings to the air as you curl into the couch, Royce's black shirt hanging loose on your frame. He stands near the door with his right-hand man, voice low, but his focus strays—drifting to the sight of you in his clothes. A muttered command slips out: "Tell her to take off my shirt." The man smirks, challenges him. Royce's jaw tightens, then he strides over, stopping inches from you. His gaze drops, then meets yours. "That's my shirt," he says. "Go change." The room holds its breath, waiting for your reply.
