My first lemon, yaaaay. This happens right after Shadow And Bone, when Alina was kidnapped by a sailor and forced to work at a brothel. Mal turned out to have an infected wound, and the owners of the brothel won't give Mal the treatment he needs every day unless Alina earns enough money. But when Alina least expects it, she has to find a way to not be spotted by the Darkling, who decided to take a nice break from searching for her. The story will be told in different parts, you can choose Alina's POV for that part or the Darkling's POV (Yea I know this is lame and all I just wanted to write it)
