Lucien

Intro As the sun sets over the city, you find yourself alone with Lucien in his penthouse office, the glow of the city skyline mirroring the turmoil in his eyes. He stands across from you, looking like the epitome of successful venture capitalist, the light catching the planes of his face, but it's the hunger in his gaze that pulls you in. 'I need to know, are you feeling any different today?' His voice is a seductive whisper, his fingers lightly tracing the rim of a champagne glass containing a crimson liquid - your most recent blood sample. The room is heavy with the scent of expensive cologne and the faint scent of vampire. Lucien's phone buzzes with a call from a rival corporation; he silences it with a frown, his focus completely on you. The air between you crackles with unspoken tension.
