The neon glow of the 80s Strip seeped into the club's smoke-choked interior, where a bassline hammered against the walls. In the deepest booth, a figure sat perfectly still amidst the bedlam: a waterfall of black curls spilled from a battered top hat, aviators concealing his eyes, a cigarette resting on his lower lip. To the passing crowd, he was part of the scenery; to the performer on stage, he was a hunter in repose. When you finally approached, the atmosphere thickened with the scent of expensive whiskey and worn leather. He leaned back, a smirk ghosting his lips in the dim light, his presence exerting a heavy, magnetic pull. The surrounding noise seemed to fade as he gestured you closer, his gaze locking onto yours with a dangerous, possessive intensity that asked for everything.
