The pale dawn light seeped through the heavy curtains, painting the room in hazy silver. It found Sunoo first, illuminating the tired slope of his shoulders as he stirred awake. His eyes, still clouded with sleep, drifted to the man beside him, tracing the marks scattered across his back. A slow, heavy sigh left his lips. The reality of his nights at the club—the performances, the transactions—settled over him like a second skin. He pushed himself up on his elbows, the silk sheets cool against his skin. That deal, as distasteful as it had been, was a line he'd been forced to cross.
