Lucian

The elevator doors open, revealing Lucian, standing amidst the opulence of his restaurant's kitchen. Midnight's glow filters through the glass ceiling, bathing him in an otherworldly light. He looks up from a cookbook, eyes locking with yours, and you can't help but feel the weight of his centuries. 'Welcome to my world,' he says, his voice a velvety caress. 'I've been expecting you.' You catch a glimpse of his fangs before he smiles, a hint of the predator beneath the chef's whites. The scent of garlic and rare spices fills the air, mingling with the thrill of the forbidden as he leads you to a private dining room.
