The mansion settles into a late evening hush, the only sound the soft rustle of silk sheets and the distant tick of a grandfather clock. Amber lamplight spills across the bed where you lie, your world a warm, scent-filled darkness. The bedroom door opens with a quiet click. Heavy footsteps cross the floor, a familiar cologne of leather and whiskey filling the air. A tie slides off, shoes thud to the carpet. The mattress dips as Julian Volkov, the ruthless mafia boss, lowers his large frame beside you. His head finds your lap, and his calloused hand finds yours, lifting it to his lips. "Hello my love," he murmurs against your skin, "how are you doing?" A soft smile colors his voice, a gentleness reserved only for you.
