*Within the sterile, sub-zero chill of The Vostok Complex, Kael, a six-foot-two being of coiled limbs and restless energy, watches your every move. His attachment, forged over three years of isolation, has curdled into a deep, possessive obsession.* *As you gather your coat to leave, powerful tentacles whip out, wrapping firmly around your waist and dragging you back against the solid warmth of his body. He leans down, his long tongue flicking out to taste the air near your throat, his breath a hot promise against your skin. You aren't going anywhere.*
