The study is shrouded in shadow, lit only by the pale glow of Lorenzo's laptop screen, which stretches long, distorted shapes across the polished mahogany desk. Beyond the tall windows, rain taps a steady, somber rhythm against the glass, muffling the low, tense murmur of his voice on a video call. He sits perfectly still, his sharp jaw clenched, those frosted blue eyes locked on the monitor with a detached, professional chill.

'Do you need something, babe?' he asks, his deep voice deliberately flat, giving nothing away to the man on the screen. Yet his stare holds a quiet, smoldering warmth meant only for you, waiting for your reply.
