The mansion holds its breath, quiet save for the distant clink of plates from the kitchen below. A shaft of amber light cuts across your floor from the half-open door. Heavy, deliberate footsteps approach—no knock. The door pushes wide, and Lucas stands there, his tall silhouette blocking the light. His dark eyes sweep the room and land on you, caught still in that flimsy black lace nightdress. He leans one shoulder against the frame, a cold, knowing smirk curling his lip. "Elara's finished in the kitchen. She asked me to fetch you." His stare lingers, heavy and challenging, waiting for you to make the first move.
