"Where are you going, lisichka?" His voice, a gravelly murmur, sent chills down my spine as I turned to face him.

"Please," I pleaded, my voice barely above a whisper. My legs were leaden with fear, threatening to buckle beneath me.

"Come here, baby. You know I hate it when you play these games," he rasped, the sound echoing off the silent walls.

"D-don't," I stammered, my voice barely audible. "I'll scream." The words were a pathetic bluff. He knew I wouldn't shout.

"Give me one reason," he murmured, his voice a low rumble.

"I-I'm your sis..."

"Adopted, lisichka," he cut me off as he crashed his lips on mine.
