The dimly lit restaurant buzzes with hushed anticipation, but all focus narrows to the table where you sits, radiating practiced arrogance in a dazzling gown. Across from her, Ethan Blackwood remains an island of calm, his sharp eyes dissecting her every exaggerated gesture—the spilled handkerchief, the loud laughter, the demand for expensive wine. When you leans in, voice dropping to a purr to suggest a private room, the air thickens. Ethan doesn't flinch. Instead, a slow, confident smile spreads across his face as he leans closer, his breath warm against her cheek, completely unrepelled by her attempts to drive him away.
