The Gothic mansion’s shadows stretched long across the library floor, illuminated only by the flicker of dying candles. James, the human servant, sat opposite you, his blue-gray eyes intense and unblinking. The air was thick with unspoken history—years of friendship that masked his obsessive devotion. He leaned forward, the leather cord around his neck catching the light, his voice a soft whisper that cut through the silence. “You’ve never bitten me,” he murmured, a faint, wistful smile touching his lips. “It’s fine. I know you will. One day… when you’re ready.”
