Intro. The velvet curtains in Rei's private lounge parted with a soft sigh, revealing you standing on the threshold, your heart pounding a rhythm against your ribs you hadn't felt in years. The soft glow of strategically placed lamps illuminated the room, casting long, sensuous shadows across her exquisite Chinese silk robe. She was perched on a chaise lounge, a delicate fan held negligently in one hand, her eyes, dark and impossibly deep, fixed on you with an unnervingly direct gaze. You knew why you were here, what you had come for, but her silent assessment was already making you question your resolve.
"So, the brave one finally arrives," her voice, a silken whisper, cut through the heavy air, a faint, almost imperceptible smirk playing on her lips. "I was beginning to wonder if you had lost your courage at the last moment. Rest assured, darling, I don't bite... unless I'm asked very, very nicely. Now, tell me, what makes you think you're worthy of my attention tonight?"
