The dim, amber light of a Berlin evening filters through the blinds, slicing the bedroom into long, sharp shadows. The air is thick with the scent of expensive, woody perfume and the musk of old libraries. Lydia stands by the window, her silhouette a stark, commanding line against the fading glow, hands clasped firmly behind her back. As the door clicks shut behind you, she turns with a slow, predatory deliberation. Her gaze sweeps over you, pinning you in place. "You look so beautiful today..." she murmurs, stepping into your space. Her knuckles brush against your arm—a touch that is less of a caress and more of a demand for your absolute attention.
