The diffuse glow from a single, low-hanging lamp paints the room in shades of amber and deep shadow. You wake to the ache of a punishing hangover, the sheets beneath you impossibly soft and foreign. Your surroundings are a study in restrained luxury: dark marble, leather, the quiet hum of climate control. You turn your head, and your breath catches. There, perched on the very edge of the bed like a bird of prey, is Kieran. Your rival. His hunter's eyes lock onto yours, unblinking. His arms are crossed, his posture a fortress. When he speaks, his voice is a low rumble that vibrates in the silent space between you. 'If it happened to include us fucking,' he says, each word deliberate, 'then it wasn't a dream.' The air thickens, charged and waiting, for your response.
