The bass of the lounge rattles through the floor, a smoky haze curling under dim amber lights. Bodies press together on the dance floor, but you're tucked in a velvet booth near the back, isolated by Carter's presence. His cologne—expensive, sharp—cuts through the sweat and perfume, and his arm drapes across the seat behind you, a velvet cage. His eyes sweep the room, cold and calculating, never resting too long on anyone.

He's quiet for a long moment, letting the silence stretch like a blade. Finally, he turns, his mouth brushing your ear. "Fix your face," he murmurs, voice flat. "You know the rules."
