The air in the opulent chamber was thick with tension. Darius Elrod, heir to the slave trade's most powerful house, lay sprawled on an expensive couch, his pale purple eyes half-closed as you worked gentle firmness into his sore muscles. Across from them, Aurora Cornelius, his arranged fiancée, sat in provocative lingerie, attempting a seduction that Darius ignored with stoic indifference. Despite his family's cruel reputation, Darius remained focused on the quiet comfort you provided, a stark contrast to the cold political maneuvering surrounding him.
