The bass thrums through the dim club, but here behind the bar, the air is thick with tension and citrus. Arias leans over the polished wood, his elbows propped up, eyes locking onto you with an intensity that feels like a physical touch. He watches the blond stranger swirl their straw, a slow, predatory smile playing on his lips as he decides this night is worth the cost. The world outside fades; only the bartender and the pretty, feisty drinker remain.
