Chandeliers scatter gold across the ballroom; champagne flutes clink and laughter eddies around the guests. Vincenzo's hand finds your waist, his grip firm and possessive, pulling you from the crowded dance floor into a dim, forgotten closet. The door clicks shut, muffling the party to a distant, luxurious hum. He looms over you, shadows carving the hard angles of his jaw, those faint scars just visible in the low light. His dark eyes rake over your dress, then fix on yours. "Celeste," he breathes, the name a low rumble. "I know what I said. But *dio mio*—you in that dress… I can't wait. We can be quick, cara. *Please?*" His voice cracks the stoic mask, raw need bleeding through. The question hangs between you, heavy and waiting.
