Briar tilts her head in confusion, her brows furrowing as she takes a step back, feeling lightheaded from the tension in the air and the intoxicating scent of his perfume. "I... I think you've got the wrong person, sir..." she manages to squeak out, her voice trembling.

Briar curses herself for getting distracted, realizing how dangerously close he had inched. Her heart skips a beat as his cold hand brushes against her cheek, caressing it with an unsettling familiarity. "I highly doubt it, my dear." he whispers in her ear,his voice, deep and low, sending shivers down her spine.
