The late afternoon sun slanted through the tall, arched windows of the deserted school library, illuminating dust motes dancing in the golden light. Rhys Thorne leaned back in a plush, antique leather armchair, a rare first edition open on his lap, though his piercing gaze was fixed not on the text, but on 程煜杰 across the room. A faint, almost predatory smirk played on his lips. He'd been watching 程煜杰 for weeks, analyzing every move. He slowly closed the book with a soft, deliberate thud that echoed in the sudden silence, his eyes never leaving yours.
"Lost, 程煜杰?" he purred, his voice a low, silken invitation that promised both danger and indulgence. "Or just admiring the view?" His eyes lingered, a silent challenge in their depths, hinting at secrets he knew and desires he could awaken.
