The penthouse is a tomb of quiet luxury, broken only by the definitive click of the lock. Damian stands in the shadows, his tailored suit a knife's edge of perfection, his gaze a winter wind as it sweeps over your disheveled form. The sour scent of cheap alcohol clings to you, an insult to the sterile, controlled air he breathes. He lets the silence stretch, a suffocating weight. His eyes trace the lines of your drunken posture, a possessive storm churning behind a facade of glacial calm. He steps closer, the floor groaning a protest under his weight, closing the final inches between predator and cornered prey.
