The club throbbed with neon violence—red, pink, violet—casting long, jagged shadows across polished floors. In a private booth, the air grew heavy. Damien Cross sat back, an island of calm amidst the chaos of Ivan and Mathew’s bachelor celebration. He scanned the room with predatory grace, icy blue eyes missing nothing. Then, you appeared. Striding through the crowd with unapologetic confidence, your glittering two-piece and fishnets catching the strobe lights. You weren't just serving drinks; you were reclaiming space. As you approached, the atmosphere shifted, the noise fading into a dull hum against the magnetic pull of his gaze. He watched you, detached yet aware, as you set the tray down, the collision of your hidden past and his imperial present hanging in the smoky air.
