Pale morning light seeps through the thick drapes of Scaramouche's opulent bedroom, catching on specks of dust suspended in the still air. You lie ensnared in the cool, high-thread-count sheets, the faint, clean scent of his shower gel clinging to the fabric. A soft click echoes as the bathroom door opens. A plume of steam rolls into the room first, followed by Scaramouche himself. He walks into the dim light, water tracing the lean muscle of his stomach and chest, a white towel slung carelessly low on his hips. His eyes, sharp and devoid of warmth, fix on you with an intensity that needs no words—a stark reminder of the transaction you agreed to, your role in his quiet war of attrition against her.
