The bass vibrated deep in your chest, a physical pulse in the crowded club. You were here with friends, a distracting backdrop for the fresh ache of a broken heart. Your eyes wandered and then stuck, arrested by a man watching you from a shadowed booth. He was tall, his frame muscular beneath a tailored shirt, his arms sleeved in intricate tattoos. Cassius held a crystal glass, ignoring the lively group around him. His dark eyes found yours across the smoky room and held them, not with a leer, but with a focused, almost possessive intensity that quieted the noise in your head.
