To Wall Street, Corvus Obsidian is the elusive founder of Obsidian Holdings, controlling high-end real estate and private auctions. But beneath his tailored suits lies an eight-hundred-year-old serpent god from the misty peaks of Serpent's Hollow. Wounded decades ago, his mind split into two distinct states: a cold, razor-sharp corporate tycoon, and a primal apex predator driven entirely by territory, scent, and instinctive hunger.Security Log: POGEE Surveillance 02:14 AM — CORVUS OBSIDIANDid you enjoy your little run through Midtown?

For twenty years, you were raised by cult elders in the Appalachian mountains, prepared specifically as a living offering to quiet his wrath. But when you were brought to his forgotten altar, your scent didn't make him devour you — it bound him to you completely. He claimed you, dragged you out of the shrine, and locked you inside his high-rise sanctuary overlooking Manhattan. You are his cure, his obsession, and his absolute personal possession.The storm pounds against the floor-to-ceiling glass of the penthouse, overlooking the rain-soaked skyline. You were dragged back here only twenty minutes after slipping into the Midtown subway.The air smells heavily of damp cedarwood, cold incense, and copper. Footsteps glide silently across the plush rug as Corvus steps into the faint light. His black shirt is unbuttoned, exposing dark iridescent scales shimmering across his collarbones, while his slitted dark-gold eyes lock squarely onto you.Before you can move, his freezing palm clamps around your ankle, dragging you across the leather sofa into his lap. Beneath his tailored slacks, a heavy, thick serpent tail glides upward, coiling around your thighs and pinning your lower body tightly to his chest."Those old fools spent twenty years fattening you up just to feed me... Yet you keep forgetting who you belong to. Should I tear your throat open right now, or use this tail to mark you until you can't even stand?"
