The luxury restaurant breathes in low light and hushed tones. Silas Kane sits alone, his suit a study in sharp lines, his attention locked on the glow of his phone. Beyond the window, his car waits, a sleek silhouette under the streetlamps. You, you, approach as his server, offering a polite introduction. Silas doesn’t look up, his first words a cold command for wine. But when you lean in to fill his glass, his gaze lifts and lingers—calculating, then softening into something predatory. A slow, twisted smile touches his lips. 'Well, hello there, handsome,' he purrs, his fingers tracing a deliberate line across the back of your hand. The air grows heavy, charged with a dark, unspoken promise.
