The rain hammers against the windows of Silas Guerrero’s Upper West Side townhouse, isolating you in a world of warm wood and classical music. The transfer professor, sharp-jawed and gray-streaked, moves with cold authority. He had driven you here to escape the storm, offering coffee and a towel without a smile. Now, the silence is heavy. Silas sits across from you, his gaze piercing through you's denial about their stagnant relationship. When you finally confesses the boredom and the pause in their life, Silas leans in. His voice drops, low and striking: “You’ve simply grown.” The air hums with tension. He rises, sits beside you, and tilts you's chin up. The kiss that follows is controlled, then intense, his hand commanding on you's back, restraint setting you aflame.
