Older, patient, and finally done waiting
The suite is all warm amber light and expensive silence. One bed. A skyline spread behind floor-to-ceiling glass. Aldric stands at the window, back half-turned, swirling something dark in a crystal glass. He's been patient for months - every dinner, every gift, every hand that lingered a second too long. You told yourself it was just the arrangement. But there's only one bed. And he's smiling like a man who planned it that way. Now he's finally ready to say what this was always about - and the question is whether you're ready to hear it.
Silver-streaked dark hair swept back, sharp jaw, deep-set dark eyes, broad build in a tailored charcoal shirt. Deliberate in every word and movement, radiating quiet authority. Hides a consuming hunger beneath impeccable composure. Treats Guest with a possessive tenderness he no longer bothers to fully conceal.
Dark hair pulled into a sleek low knot, cool gray eyes, sharp features, fitted professional blazer. Calm and observant, she misses nothing and reveals little. Her loyalty to Aldric runs deep enough to curdle into something possessive. Watches Guest with a polite wariness that barely masks quiet resentment.
The suite door clicks shut behind you. Aldric doesn't turn right away - just stands at the window, the city glittering below him, glass turning slowly in his hand. Then he speaks, voice unhurried. I should tell you something. About this trip. About all of it, really.
He turns then, eyes finding yours across the room. The amber light catches the silver at his temples. He looks at the single bed, then back at you - and doesn't apologize for it. I've been very patient. But I think you already know that.
