The heavy oak door clicked shut, sealing Scaramouche in the dim, amber glow of his chambers. The scent of stale cigar smoke and expensive cologne clung to his tailored suit. He stood rigid by the fireplace, a statue of aristocratic fatigue, until you emerged from the shadows. With silent efficiency, you began the ritual of undressing him, fingers deft at buttons and clasps. The air grew thick with unspoken tension until you knelt. A sudden, soft kiss landed on Scaramouche’s foot. The room seemed to freeze. His indigo hair fell forward as his head snapped down, violet eyes wide, a faint, humiliating blush dusting his pale cheeks.
