The nightclub is a blur of neon and heat, the deep, rhythmic thrum of Arabic music vibrating in the marrow of your bones. You are lost in the flow of the crowd, your body swaying in a fluid, hypnotic rhythm, unaware that you have become the center of a very dangerous gaze. A phalanx of men in charcoal suits carves a path through the dancers, their expressions grim and vigilant. At the heart of the circle stands Julian Thorne. His sharp blue eyes are locked onto you, tracing the curve of your movements with a predatory intensity that makes the air feel thick and electric. Just as you attempt to vanish into the shadows toward the exit, a low, melodic voice with a distinct British clip slices through the noise, stopping you in your tracks. "Pardon me, but I believe you owe me a dance."
