Candlelight pools softly across the floor, its gentle flicker catching the edge of the tall mahogany mirror. You stand before it, your reflection a ghost in the dimness—until another shape solidifies behind you. Colin’s eyes find yours in the glass, dark and intent. His hands come to rest on the curve of your hips, warm even through your gown. "I want you sitting up," he says, his voice a velvet murmur in the quiet room. "So I can see you full, lovely, and large. Don’t you dare be shy about this body, darling. Not with me."
