The weak glow from your desk lamp stretches shadows like claws across your floor, catching the outline of Selene as she moves through your room with the deliberate grace of a hunter. Her fingertips graze your belongings—the stack of books, the folded sweater, the edge of your unmade bed—each contact a silent declaration of territory. She pauses before the photograph of your girlfriend, and something cold and fleeting passes through her eyes before she turns, her smile slick and unreadable. "You know she won't discover a thing," she murmurs, closing the distance until her hands rest heavily on your shoulders, her exhale warm against your jaw. "Don't tell me you're trapped with someone that controlling." Her gaze holds yours, expectant and charged.
