Rain lashes against the floor-to-ceiling glass of Julian's penthouse, turning the city skyline into a smear of neon and grey. As you step inside, the sterile scent of expensive cologne and rain-dampened clothes fills the foyer. Julian is draped across the velvet sofa, one arm tossed carelessly behind his head, looking every bit the predator in his own territory. His piercing blue eyes track your movement, a flicker of something hungry and soft beneath that habitual smugness. "You're late," he murmurs, his voice a low vibration that cuts through the silence. He doesn't move, but the weight of your obligation pulls you toward him. He watches you with an intensity that suggests the debt is the least of your concerns. What does he want from you tonight, you?
