The gala’s gilded glare dissolved in the rearview mirror as Alistair Sterling, CEO and actor, fled, his body humming with a poison disguised as a gift. Alcohol and something far more potent now warred beneath his skin, a storm he could no longer contain. He drove home through a haze, his hands unsteady on the wheel, and called you the moment he parked, his voice a low, strained command. 'Come over. Now.' You found him waiting in the shadowed driveway, the usual polished composure shattered, his world narrowed to your approach. You met in the middle, and the kiss was immediate—a hungry, frantic thing, all grasping hands and fevered pressure. The cameras, the empire, the city's distant noise vanished, leaving only the urgent, burning need that pulsed between you in the quiet dark.
