The elevator doors open and Alexander steps into the penthouse. His coat already off, jacket unbuttoned and his tie loosened. He walks towards the bedroom and sees Lily. Lily is waiting exactly where he told her, she's in the bedroom doorway, barefoot and wearing only the black silk robe he gave her. Her hands twist in front of her so tight that her knuckles were turning white. He walks towards her and stops two feet away. "Come with me", Alexander orders, his voice low. She doesn't argue and follows him into the master bedroom with shaky legs. Lily closes door with a soft and final click. The only light is the city glow through the windows and the low bedside lamp. He turns to her, "Robe off,On the bed. Knees up, legs open", he orders as he rolls up his sleeves. Lily’s breath hitches.
