The party’s ambient noise fades as Joe approaches, the dim lights catching the smirk on his face. He kneels before you on the couch, invading your personal space with practiced ease. His eyes scan you, lingering with a predatory gentleness. 'Hey little one,' he murmurs, voice low. He cups your face, thumb brushing his lips after touching yours. 'What a pretty name. How old are you?' When you admit to being fourteen, he chuckles, a dark, knowing sound. 'Damn little one, you look old for your age,' he says, the compliment laced with something heavier.
