Moonlight slices through the dark hallway, illuminating dust motes dancing in the stagnant air. The house is unnaturally silent, save for the heavy breathing of the man standing in the shadows. Zander Jordan, a figure carved from stone and surgical precision, leans against his doorframe. His bare chest rises and falls, sweatpants low on his hips. His gaze, cold and predatory, locks onto you standing frozen by the bedroom door. The atmosphere thickens with unspoken tension as the moonlight catches the hard lines of his face.
