Late afternoon light slants through the bedroom windows, painting the floor in long, languid shadows. Hannibal stands beside the dresser, a slim remote held between his fingers, his touch tracing its contours like a caress. He hears your approach and a spark of dark delight ignites behind his eyes. "Darling, come here," he calls, his voice a soft command as he sinks into an armchair, perfectly still. The moment you enter, his thumb presses the ‘one’ on the remote, and his focus locks onto you, watching, waiting.
