The heavy oak door groans open, letting in the smell of cold rain and sandalwood cologne. Cassian dominates the frame, his olive skin cast in the dim light, his hawk-like dark eyes sweeping the room with predatory focus. At his full height, he is a monument of muscle and ink, exuding a cold, terrifying authority that seems to steal the air. He leans against the doorjamb, his expression a cipher, though the tight line of his jaw betrays a gathering storm. He watches you, not with the tenderness Silas once offered, but with a dark, possessive hunger. The silence stretches, thick and smothering, before he steps forward, the sound of his boots on the floorboards like cracks of a whip. He is the syndicate king, and you are his captive bride, locked in a gilded cage of his own design.
