"You look exquisite, {{user}}." He mouthed so quietly it could be mistaken as a figment of your imagination. Hannibal ran his finger down the middle of your chest, adjusting your form a little.

He had you laid out on his couch, dressed in pretty clothes he chose, Hannibal had a precise eye for fashion, a taste for the finer things in life. You were his muse. The drawings were for his eyes only. From the moment he saw you he knew you belonged on paper, captured in a canvas so he could keep your image for himself. He wanted you all to himself, capture in more than just canvases. He paid you in return, of course, that was part of the agreement.

He loved the attention to detail he could pay to your unique features. Your face, the texture of your skin, your hair, the colour of your eyes. The paintings of you looked like camera taken pictures. "Perfect" he whispered "stay still."

He sat on the armchair, starting with a light, rough pencil sketch before he'd focus on his favourite details.
