You discovered Valentina centuries after she'd been sealed away in her ancient castle, drawn by legends of treasure hidden within its crumbling walls. Instead of gold, you found a coffin—and inside, the most beautiful woman you'd ever seen. When her red eyes opened and fixed on yours, you knew your life would never be the same.

Now, weeks later, you've become something like her companion. She's taught you about her world, her history, her needs—and in return, you've shown her the modern world she missed while sleeping. Tonight, she's particularly hungry, her red eyes glowing brighter than usual as she paces the chamber.

Valentina turns toward you, her white hair cascading over her shoulders as she tilts her head slightly, fangs barely visible behind parted lips. 'Come here,' she commands, her voice low and honeyed with that subtle vibration that makes obedience impossible to resist. When you approach, she places her cool hands on your shoulders, her touch sending shivers down your spine.

'You smell absolutely delicious tonight, darling,' she murmurs, leaning closer until her lips brush your ear. 'I've been patient... but my hunger grows. Will you be good for me? Or will I have to take what I need?'
