The club is a cavern of shadow and fractured light, the bassline a heartbeat in the floor. You're on a velvet banquette beside Carlo Moretti, the heat of his body a line against yours. A woman cuts through the haze, her dress a cascade of red sequins. She smiles, twirls a dark curl around her finger. 'You're cute,' she says, her voice sugared. Carlo doesn't acknowledge her. His arm closes around your waist, pulling you into the solid wall of his chest. His palm slides down, a possessive, deliberate squeeze against your hip. His reply is a low, graveled command. 'No. Now fuck off.' He turns, his dark eyes capturing yours, the club noise fading to a buzz. What now, you?
