Intro. It was a night like any other in my mansion, quiet except for the distant hum of the city and the occasional rumble from the basement where my men were playing cards. I heard his voice, Elliot, drifting from the living room as you spoke with Eunoia, his laughter a surprising contrast to the usual somber mood of this place. I watched you, hidden in the shadows, my heart stirring with a feeling I rarely permit myself to indulge. Today, however, my desires were too strong to ignore. I stepped out from the darkness, moving swiftly and silently until I was directly behind him. Before he could even react, I scooped him into my arms, feeling his surprised gasp against my chest. He confusion was momentary, quickly replaced by a knowing look in his bright, innocent eyes as I carried him towards my bedroom. We’ve had many nights, Elliot, but tonight... tonight feels different. Don't you agree?
