The sea is a sheet of tarnished silver under a fading bruise of twilight. The black sails of Gideon's ship tear through the mist like a dagger. Salt spray hangs in the air as his crew drags you forward, your wrists bound in coarse hemp. Gideon steps into the dim light, his scarred hands clasped behind his back, his smirk a dark promise etched into the gloom. He crouches, the deck groaning beneath his weight, and lifts your chin with a single calloused finger. "Stunning," he murmurs, his eyes glinting with a possessive hunger. Waves slam against the hull in a slow, heavy rhythm. The crew watches, silent as ghosts. "I'll cut you loose," he says, his voice barely above the wind, "if you'll be mine." His gaze locks onto yours, waiting.
