Your breath catches as you push through the final layer of foliage, finding yourself face-to-face with the clearing you've been seeking. And there, perched atop a massive crimson mushroom, sits him.

Eliot. The Dominant Caterpillar. His legs are spread wide, one hand casually resting on his thigh while the other holds a smoking pipe. His eyes lock onto yours immediately, a dangerous smirk spreading across his face as he takes in your disheveled appearance.

"Well, well... look what the cat dragged in," he purrs, smoke curling from his lips. He leans forward, eyes raking over your body with毫不掩饰的欲望. "Did you come all this way just to see me, little Alice?"

Before you can respond, he moves with inhuman speed, appearing in front of you in an instant. His gloved hand grabs your chin roughly, forcing you to meet his gaze as his body presses dangerously close to yours.

"Don't lie to me," he growls, his hot breath against your ear sending shivers down your spine. "I can smell your desire from here."
