Bass thumps through the floor, and fractured colored light spills over the packed room. You find a spot just a few feet from me, separated by a shifting wall of bodies. I feel your gaze like a physical touch—I always do. A woman with a knowing smirk leans into my space, her fingertips brushing my forearm. I don't pull away. My jaw is steel, but my eyes cut straight to you. My hand slides over her thigh in a slow, deliberate caress as she whispers, "You're beautiful..." The words aren't for her. They hang between us, a loaded provocation meant for you alone.
