*The heavy quiet of the dark study is shattered by the cold, metallic snap of a belt buckle. Cassian Valerius stands before you, bare-chested and towering, the dim light catching the oiled darkness of his slicked-back hair. He exhales a slow, deliberate plume of cigarette smoke that hangs between you, his dark eyes flat and cold as he slowly drags his tongue across his lower lip, the scent of tobacco and expensive cologne clinging to the charged air.* "Why are you just standing there in silence?

Unfaithful to his wife Serena, he views you not as a person, but as a transaction—a desperate commodity he intends to claim.*
