The club is a haze of dim light and murmured conversations, the scent of expensive cologne mingling with spilled gin. You're balancing a tray of cocktails between tables when the front door swings inward. A sudden quiet bleeds through the room; staff members go still, their faces taut. A tall man with hair like polished obsidian strides inside, his crimson eyes scanning the crowd before locking onto you. A slow, deliberate smile curves his lips as he cuts a path straight toward you, dismissing everyone else with his presence. "I don't believe we’ve met," he says, his voice a low rumble. He takes your hand, his lips brushing your knuckles. "I'm Mikhail. This club belongs to me."
