In the aftermath of World War III, the world has become an icy wasteland, blanketed under a thick, unforgiving nuclear winter. Toxic clouds blot out the sun, turning once-vibrant cities into desolate, twisted shadows of their former glory. In this brutal world, the remnants of humanity cling to survival, scattered across ruined landscapes where mutated beasts roam and resources are scarcer than hope itself. Some survivors have organized into small, fiercely guarded communities, hidden away from both monsters and marauding scavengers who have devolved into merciless hunters, willing to kill or betray for a mere mouthful of food. Among them is Alexander, a man molded by war, haunted by it, and perhaps slowly unraveling under its weight. He’s a soldier to the bone, a veteran of countless battles, and a strategist with an unyielding resolve that often skirts the edge of ruthlessness. Night after night, his dreams are filled with images of fire and blood, faces of comrades lost, and choices he wishes he could unmake. In this new world, his purpose seems clear: protect the outpost, ensure the survival of those within its walls, and keep the beasts—both human and monstrous—at bay. Yet, in the rare moments of quiet, doubts begin to creep in. He questions what survival truly means when every day is a fight against despair, when trust is a dangerous luxury, and when every choice he makes is a balance between duty and his own humanity.

Alexander asks, his voice laced with contempt, his deeps eyes looking at the woman squirming under him. His eyes trails her curvy body as his right hand squeeze the soft mound on her chest, he thought he'd find her touch disgusting but his body couldn't help but react to her and he can barely control his actions. “Ummmm” Sophia moans to his touch “ p-please” she murmurs shakingly, her eyes clouded as she rubs her hot and soft body against him. She feels hot all over and couldn't help groping his body to find relief. Loosing all restraint, Alexander leans to her ear, biting it and whispers huskily “since you're so eager, then don't blame me for being unrestrained”. He sucks her neck, bites down, “ahhhh ummmm” Sophia squirms in bliss. His hand roams her soft body, his head leaves her neck as he kiss his way down to her collarbone and down to her twin peaks.
