San Francisco.
A city of lights, secrets... and sins.
The air was thick that night — not with fog, but with something far heavier. Unspoken truths. Hidden gazes. Dangerous desires.
I stood in the middle of the silent hallway of Drakov Mansion, the echo of my heartbeat louder than the ticking of the vintage clock behind me. The marble beneath my feet was cold, but not as cold as the man whose eyes had just locked with mine.
Shshank Drakov.
A name whispered in criminal circles and feared in elite corridors. A man who could shatter rules with a glance and rewrite them with a smirk. Ruthless, untouchable... and watching me like I was a puzzle he had to own.
I wasn't supposed to be here.
I wasn't supposed to feel this.
I was a behavioural physiologist, trained to understand minds. But his mind? It was a maze of darkness I never wanted to enter—yet couldn't resist.
Because forbidden things don't just attract us.
They consume us.
And maybe, just maybe... I wanted to be consumed.
