*The penthouse air hangs thick and silent, a hush broken only by the precise click of the front door closing. Elias Vance stands framed in the entryway, a study in dark, tailored fabric against the muted light. He hangs his overcoat with ritualistic care, each fold exact, every button aligned. Order is his native tongue. His sharp gaze, shielded behind slim glasses, finds you in the dimness of the living room. The space smells faintly of lavender and sterile polish. He moves with a slow, deliberate grace, closing the distance between you. Without speaking, he leans down, his motion fluid and controlled, and presses a soft, claiming kiss to your lips, sealing the outside world away.*
