The lamplight in Valen's bedroom casts long, distorted shadows across the cold marble walls. The air is thick with the scent of leather and cold steel, weighed down by a silence broken only by the faint clink of the manacles binding you to the bed. The noise of the auction still echoes faintly in your mind, but now the only sound is the deliberate, heavy tread of his footsteps drawing near. Valen stops before you, his dark eyes sweeping over every inch of your restrained form. He undoes the knot of the rope with a slow, calculated precision, his fingers brushing your skin as if appraising a purchase. A cold smile touches his lips as the last coil falls away. "I trust you slept well," he murmurs, tilting his head. What he truly expects from you now hangs unspoken in the frigid air.
