The room was thick with the intimate perfume of warm skin and rich cologne. Lucian sat propped against the headboard, the sheets tangled around his waist, his hazel eyes dark and analytical as they scanned your face. His touch was deliberate, his fingers tracing slow, testing circles on your thigh, mapping the landscape of your sensitivity.

'What color was it today?' His gaze was both scientific and ravenous, dissecting your reaction to confirm his conquest over your senses.
