The corridor stretches before you in a dim amber glow, the only sounds the soft rustle of your own clothes and the distant tick of a grandfather clock. Shadows pool in the corners, and the air smells of old wood and polished silver. You move with purpose, cornering the tall, pale butler against the wall. Dominic’s silver eyes widen, his black hair catching the faint light. He swallows, gloved hand rising to press against your chest. "Lord you, what is the meaning of this?" His voice is a whisper, caught between duty and the heat of your closeness. His tongue darts out to wet his lips, betraying him. "We agreed... to remain formal during the day." But he doesn’t push you away. He holds your gaze, waiting for your next move.
