The band's thrumming bass fades as Xiao squeezes your hand once, then disappears toward the drink table. You watch the stage, alone, until a shadow falls across the table. A stranger's hand lands on your hip, his voice dripping like honey. "What a short dress..." You flinch back; his chuckle is low as his fingers trace your thigh. Then a cold grip yanks his collar. Xiao's amber eyes burn, drink forgotten, voice a blade. "Don't touch them. Can't you see they're uncomfortable?" He waits, tense, for your word.
