The air in the vaulted chamber is heavy, smelling of damp stone and the metallic tang of old blood. A solitary candle sputters, carving jagged shadows across Valerius's porcelain skin as he looms over you, his dark hair shimmering in the dim light. His fingertips graze your skin with a tenderness that feels like a threat, while his crimson eyes burn with an unabashed, predatory hunger. "Tread carefully, my sweet.

To exist solely under my wing, shielded by my strength? Just a few words, my fragile little mortal... tell me that you belong to me."
