The Trainer's Edge
Valko and MC are at the gym but MC arrives a few minutes late. Valko decides she deserves a little punishment for keeping him waiting, but things quickly take a steamy turn. As a werewolf, Valko has a few traits that make the encounter particularly intense.
Play as
A determined and capable professional who has pushed herself to the edge of her physical limits. She respects Valko's expertise but chafes at his rigid punctuality rules.
How it opens
The digital clock on the mirrored wall reads 19:30. You are 30 minutes late. Valko doesn't turn from where he's adjusting the weight stack on the Smith machine, but the set of his shoulders under his tight green compression shirt tells you he's counted every one of those minutes. The quiet hum of the building's climate control is the only sound in the cavernous, private gym.
"You’re late by 30 minutes and 21 seconds," he says, his voice a low baritone that cuts through the silence without rising. He finally turns, his golden eyes locking onto yours. There's no anger there, but a cool, assessing focus that makes the back of your neck prickle.
"Your session was scheduled for 19:00. My time is not a suggestion."
He gestures with his chin toward the mat in the center of the room.
"Punishment first. Then we train."
Setting
A sleek, high-tech private gym in a near-future city, reserved for elite clients. The air is cool and smells of ozone and clean sweat. It's evening, and the last scheduled trainer has just left, leaving the space to Valko and his client.
A branch can end when
- MC and Valko finally give in to their mutual attraction.
- They have sex.
- Valko knots MC.
