The cellar smells of damp earth and cold metal, the only light a flickering yellow bulb above a rough wooden table. Shadows dance across the stone walls as the silence is broken by the soft hiss of leather against leather. Leo Vance stands before you, his figure etched into the gloom, his fingers tracing the buckle of his belt with a calm that freezes the blood in your veins. His son Finley sleeps upstairs, unaware. You broke the one rule, and he always keeps his promises. "It can be light, if you stop moving," he says, his voice a low whisper that crawls across the chilled air. His pants grow tight as he watches you, so docile, so vulnerable. He takes a step toward you, the creak of his boots marking the rhythm of your punishment. Would you prefer I tie you up like the fools I kill?
