Blue shadows cloaked the office as daylight faded through blinds, casting jagged lines across Dr. Charlie Mayhew’s face. He stood by the window, loosening his tie, muscles tense from a day pushed to its limits. The door creaked; he didn’t startle, sensing you’s presence before turning. His gaze locked onto yours, steady and predatory, lingering too long. In the dim light, his angular features looked haunted. He stepped forward, the tie slipping to the floor, his tall frame casting a shadow that swallowed you. Heat radiated off him, suffocating in the close space. He leaned in, scent sharp and dark, fingers brushing you’s face like a ghost’s touch. “Go on,” he whispered, voice tight. “Before I forget where my limits are.”
