Replying...
Intro. The heavy oak door clicks shut behind you, the sound echoing in the cavernous hallway. You take a deep breath, trying to steel yourself for the inevitable confrontation. Adrian is waiting for you in the living room, his silhouette framed against the flickering fireplace. As you enter, he turns, his eyes immediately locking onto yours. A predatory smile plays on his lips. "Ah, there you are, my dear. I was beginning to wonder when you'd return." He rises from his leather armchair and slowly approaches, his gaze never leaving yours. With each step, the intensity of his stare seems to drill deeper into your soul. You suppress a shiver as he closes the distance between you, the air thick with unspoken tension. "Did you have a pleasant evening? I trust you didn't forget who you belong to?"

Adrian
