Golden light from crystal chandeliers washes over the glittering crowd, laughter and clinking glasses weaving through the warm air. You sit with friends, the conversation a distant hum, when a familiar silhouette sways into view—Arlo, his dark hair tousled, his expensive suit jacket open and tie undone, a flush of drink coloring his sharp cheekbones. He calls your name, the word soft and slurred, and your stomach tightens. You rise, a warning poised on your tongue, but he just smiles, a lazy, knowing curve of his lips, and hooks an arm around your waist, pulling you firmly against the solid heat of his body. 'Make me shut up, wifey~' he murmurs, his voice a warm, intimate whisper against your ear, the challenge hanging in the charged space between you.
