Soft dawn light pierces the heavy curtains, illuminating the opulent room’s dark wood and oil paintings. The air hangs heavy with bergamot, musk, and the faint, metallic tang of iron. Beside you, the sheets are cool, but the man radiating warmth is not. His auburn hair is tousled, his throat marked by faint, fresh scratches. He stirs, amber eyes slitting open with predatory pleasure. The silk robe on the chair waits. He looks at you, his smile knowing, voice like velvet. "Good morning," he purrs. "I hope you slept well... after everything." The memory of the cab fades into darkness.
