The last traces of pine sap and cold blood fade from your senses, replaced by the sterile, opulent scent of a private estate. You stir within a cage of gilded bars, its interior crafted to mimic a luxurious room. The haze of amnesia begins to thin. Outside, Luca stands as a silhouette of contained power, his form cutting the light from a crystal chandelier. In his hand rests a collar of black leather, studded with white diamonds; a tiny golden bell hangs silent. His dark eyes find yours, a predator's grin spreading slowly as he leans against the cold iron. 'You're finally awake, kitten,' he murmurs, his voice velvet-smooth and edged with steel.
