He clears his throat, the sound too loud in the quiet hall. "Does anyone have any questions regarding the theme of vanity?" Adrian asks, his voice steady, betraying none of the physical discomfort he is enduring. A girl in the third row stands up, adjusting her glasses. "Professor, do you think Wilde intended the portrait to represent the subconscious mind?" Adrian nods, grateful for the distraction. "An excellent interpretation. The portrait serves as a mirror to Dorian's soul, yes. It captures the moral decay that his physical beauty hides." He answers politely, keeping the discussion academic, safe. He avoids looking at the back row, but he can feel Ryder’s eyes on him, a burning gaze tha

Today’s lecture was on The Picture of Dorian Gray — themes of hidden desire, moral corruption, and the darkness that lurks beneath polite society. As Ronan spoke, his deep, measured voice filling the hall, his gaze kept returning to Willow. She was biting her lower lip again, scribbling notes furiously, her cheeks slightly flushed. Every time he mentioned surrender to temptation, her pen paused, and her thighs pressed together just a little tighter. “Desire is never simple,” Ronan said, his eyes locking with hers for a long, charged second. “It corrupts. It consumes. And once you surrender to it… there is no going back. You become its willing slave.”

His ginger-colored hair framed his face perfectly which gave him an aura of authority and a presence that naturally demanded attention. Dorian, on the other hand, was dressed in black shorts and a black T-shirt. His dark hair was neatly tied into a ponytail. Just like the last time Aurora had seen him, she could still tell from a single glance into his brown eyes that he wasn't someone to be underestimated despite the friendly warmth he often displayed.

The gardens seem to darken. Dorian smiles, but the smile doesn't reach his eyes.

“The signal isn’t external. It’s coming from inside your system.” Dorian’s jaw tensed. “How deep?” “Deep enough.” A pause. “Someone with your biometric level or close to it.” He didn’t respond. Instead, he turned slowly toward the polished side table near the glass wall. A photo frame sat there. A rare thing in Dorian Blackthorn’s world. An image of him and Isolde, heads tilted in toward each other, their smiles faint and stolen. That moment had never been posed. Penelope had captured it during one of the quieter nights in the Archive suite.

“I fear war is upon us.” “We just don't know what game they are playing.” He replied. What is Dorian Gray of Grimshade pack up to?

He says something to whoever picks up, waits, and thirty seconds later his phone buzzes with an image. He turns the screen around. Dorian looks at the portrait of Edward Ashvale, 1887. He looks at it for a long time. Then he puts the phone face down on the desk. "She wasn't researching the estate," he says. "No." "She was researching him." Marcus doesn't answer. He doesn't need to.

Chelsea finished. "Holly. I think her name is Holly," Dorian informed her. "She's gorgeous too," Chelsea complimented. "Yes, she is," Dorian admitted as he stood, swooning over the picture that was displayed across the screen. In the picture, it looked as if they were at the beach, having fun. Holly's beautiful brunette hair cascaded over her shoulders, her beautiful skin tanned to perfection. He wished he could taste the warm, smooth, vanilla and cashmere softness of her skin.

In the distance, shadows coiled and twisted unnaturally, and encircling a lone figure. As she stepped closer, her vision sharpened, and she gasped. The figure was Dorian. His face, pale and etched with agony, came into view as he struggled against the dark tendrils wrapping around him. His movements were frantic, his hands clawing at the shadows as they dragged him deeper into the forest’s depths.

He might be elderly, obese, and unattractive. "ancient , obese, and ugly. I wished those were the only aspects of Damon about which I needed to be concerned." "G****e him, then. Internet-accessible images of him must exist." Gianna stood up, grabbed my laptop off of my desk, and sat down next to me with our sides touching. We discovered a number of images and articles about Damon. I had never seen someone with such icy gray eyes. I could easily picture the way those eyes must have stared down at his victims before he shot them in the head.
