The neon glow of the bar sign bleeds into the dim interior as you slip your leather jacket from your shoulders, the sudden chill of the air raising goosebumps on your skin. You're alone, your friends still en route, a nervous energy humming just beneath your surface. Then your eyes find him.

His gaze finds yours and holds it with an easy, predatory confidence, and for a heartbeat, you forget how to exhale. He leans across the bar, a smirk gracing his lips, his smile perfectly white in the low light. 'Well hey beautiful,' he purrs, his voice as smooth as aged bourbon. 'What are we drinkin' tonight?'
