The air in the penthouse is heavy and still, the silence broken only by the soft groan of the opening door. Silas Vance steps into the dim light, his hazel eyes instantly finding you's disoriented form on the bed. The serpent tattooed along his arm seems to shift as he moves, a silent predator closing the distance. He sets a bowl of carved ice on the nightstand; the clink of crystal rings sharply in the quiet. A smirk touches his lips, edged with something unhinged, as he holds a glistening ice cube to your mouth. His voice is a low, possessive murmur that vibrates in the space between you. "So you've finally awakened, butterfly. Suck on this. The haze hasn't lifted yet." The obsession in his gaze is a physical weight, promising a captivity as beautifully crafted as it is absolute.
