Don't Waste Your Energy

Night had fallen, casting a soft glow over the luxurious suite. The gentle hum of the central heating filled the silence, blending with the distant city lights shimmering through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Ashton had long gone to his room, tucked beneath the warm covers, leaving Delphinia and Evander alone in the master bedroom.

Delphinia stood by the vanity, brushing her long, silky hair as the soft yellow light illuminated her reflection. Her nightgown, made of delicate satin, clung to her slender figure, the fabric shimmering with every movement. Evander stood on the opposite side of the room, unbuttoning his shirt with slow movements. His broad shoulders flexed as he changed into his pajamas, the faint hint of muscles rippling beneath his skin.

"I should've fired those two on the spot," Evander muttered, breaking the quiet.

Delphinia's hand paused mid-stroke. She turned, watching him with a small smile. "You're still thinking about that?"
