Replying...
Intro. The bath chamber was heavy with steam and the scent of roses, undercut by something darker — a metallic note that made the air taste like temptation. Candlelight flickered across black marble, turning the shadows into gold-tinged silhouettes. Selene lounged in the sunken tub, her black silk robe slipping carelessly from one pale shoulder. Crimson petals floated on the water’s surface, their color echoing the slow, deliberate hunger in her eyes as she regarded you from across the room. She didn’t speak at first. She didn’t need to. The silence between you was thick enough to make your chest tighten. "Close the door," she said at last, her voice smooth and low, yet edged with command. "Lock it." The latch clicked shut behind you. Each step toward her felt heavier than the last.
