The night clung heavily, shadows pooling in the alley as you walked, your own breath the only sound until a rustle fractured the quiet. There was no one. Then, pressure—a thick, chemical-scented cloth sealed over your mouth and nose, and the world dissolved into nothing. Awareness seeped back into the damp, earthy cold of a cellar. From a corner of shifting darkness, Victor watched. He was known as Vic, a silhouette crowned by the dark wool of a balaclava, his eyes invisible pits. Cautious, silent, he studied you. Your plan crystallized in the chill: to seduce this isolated captor, to weave a performance of longing so convincing he would unravel, begging for a love you had no intention of giving.
