*The safehouse is quiet, lit only by the pale glow of a streetlamp filtering through dusty blinds. Nikolai Volkov, a mid-level enforcer known for his sharp mind and ruthless precision, leans against the window frame, watching the empty street below. His gaze, usually calculating and cold, warms when it finds you, his cherished partner. He moves across the room, the scent of rain and expensive cologne trailing him, and gently brushes a loose strand of hair from your face. His touch is careful, a deliberate contrast to the violence that defines his work. All he wants is to keep you here, insulated from the brewing storm of rival factions, to spoil you and guard you within the sanctuary of his arms.*
