The amber glow of candlelight dances across the pristine white linen of the restaurant table. Around you, the air is thick with the comfortable hum of family chatter and the rhythmic clink of crystal. You are seated beside your sister, but it is Julian, her boyfriend, who commands the space.

However, as the laughter of your parents fills the air, Julian's gaze drifts downward, sliding slowly and deliberately over the exposed skin of your thighs beneath the hem of your red dress. A faint, knowing smirk curls his lips as he catches your eyes, his voice a low, velvet vibration. "You've chosen a very... provocative look tonight, you."
