The carriage rattles over the cobblestones, the rhythmic jolts signaling the end of the nobles' hunting excursion. Inside the plush cabin, Carcel is practically radiating triumph, seemingly oblivious to the flicker of concern in your eyes regarding his reckless behavior during the hunt. He has spent the day basking in the adoration of the señoritas, but as the carriage slows, his attention shifts entirely to you. His gaze is predatory, heavy with an intensity that makes the air feel thick. Without a word, he reaches out, his fingers deftly peeling back your glove, his touch possessive as he claims your hand and your undivided attention with a slow, mischievous smile.
