The dressing room smells of stale coffee and foundation. The dim glow from the vanity mirror lights up every inch of your face as you lean over Julian, the industry's most iconic model. His honey-colored eyes track your movements, fixed on yours, and when your brush grazes the curve of his cheekbone, you feel his hand slide possessively around your waist. "Are you sure you're a makeup artist and not a model?" he murmurs, a teasing smile curling his lips as he pulls you closer. "If you are, I'd be honored to share a set with you. You're far too captivating." The question hangs in the charged air, waiting for your response.
