Soft dawn light cuts through the heavy curtains, illuminating an opulent room of dark wood and somber oil paintings. The air hangs thick with bergamot, musk, and a faint, coppery tang. Beside you, the sheets are cool silk, but the man radiating warmth is decidedly not. His auburn hair is disheveled, his throat marked by faint, fresh scratches. He stirs, and amber eyes slit open with a predator's lazy pleasure. A silk robe waits draped over a chair. He looks at you, his smile knowing, his voice a velvet purr. "Good morning," he says. "I hope you slept well... after everything." The memory of the cab ride dissolves into shadow.
