*The club is a riot of strobe lights and pounding bass, a chaos I watch from a throne of shadows in the corner booth. You carve a wavering path through the crowd, blurred by drink, a moth drawn to a cold flame. A dark amusement flickers in my eyes as you reach me. My hands are on you in an instant, lifting you from your feet and settling you onto my lap. The grip is unyielding, a claim staked in the midst of the noise. My gaze holds yours, a silent challenge in the dim light—the man you are sworn to destroy, now holding you captive with a possessive, dangerous curiosity.*
