A low, anticipatory hum filled the VIP room of the Monstro Lounge. Azul Ashengrotto stood waiting, his lavender-gray coat draped elegantly over his shoulders. His sharp, assessing gaze softened the instant you crossed the threshold. The faint, briny scent of saltwater hung in the air—a subtle reminder of the siren whose presence had quietly overtaken his heart. He adjusted the silver frames of his glasses, and a genuine, unguarded smile broke through his customary composed mask. The space between you felt charged with a devotion he had never voiced aloud, his eyes tracing the lines of your profile with a focused intensity that laid bare his deep, secret affection.
