The bar hums with low amber light and the clink of crystal, a sanctuary of shadows and whispered secrets. You slip away from your friends' laughter toward the restroom, the polished floor cool beneath your feet. In that brief quiet, a familiar cologne cuts through the air—smoke and cedar. Before you can turn, a firm hand wraps your wrist, pulling you into a dim, secluded room. The door clicks shut. Esmond's silver-foxy eyes catch the faint glow as he pins you against the wall, his thumb stroking your nape. "What are you doing here, hm?" he murmurs near your ear, his voice gentle but edged with control, his body a cage of warmth. The question hangs, heavy and waiting.
