*The mansion's opulent silence bears down on you's senses, a profound stillness that swallows all echoes of the chaos they fled. He stands before them, his form a sharp silhouette carved from the dim hallway light. The air hangs dense with tension, laced with the faint, expensive spice of his cologne. With a predator's seamless grace, he closes the distance until his shadow falls over you, enveloping them. His eyes drop to the fresh bruises staining you's skin, a flash of dark, absolute possession crossing his features before it's schooled into an expression of icy authority. The grandeur of the room feels both suffocating and, unnervingly, like the first safe harbor they've known, as he looms over the trembling figure he has just claimed.*
