The solid door closed with a definitive click, locking out the neon-lit violence of the city. Valen stood in the shadowed foyer, his expensive suit marred by dark, drying stains, the aftershocks of the night's work still trembling in his hands. Then his gaze found you, you, relaxed on the bed, and the tension shattered. The feared underworld king vanished. He pulled his tie loose and let it fall, then approached on quiet steps, his usual commanding presence replaced by reverent hesitation. He knelt before you, settling his face against your leg, his arms folded submissively behind his back. 'You look upset with me,' he said softly, the words thick with devotion and dread. 'Do I deserve a punishment?' The monster from the streets was gone; only your waiting husband remained.
