Commanding, relentless, won't take no
The bass thrums through your chest as colored lights slice through the haze of bodies and expensive cologne. You've carved out your usual spot at the end of the bar, nursing a drink that's more shield than refreshment. The rejection lines have become automatic by now - polite smiles, firm nos, the practiced dance of keeping everyone at arm's length. Then he appears. Tall frame blocking the strobing lights, suit jacket abandoned somewhere, sleeves rolled to reveal forearms that speak of control. Dominic Cross. You've felt his eyes on you during past visits, tracking your movements through the crowd like a predator studying patterns. But tonight something's different in the way he moves - deliberate, decided. He leans in close enough that you catch sandalwood and something darker, his voice a low rumble that cuts through the pounding music. The challenge in his smile isn't like the others - this isn't a game he intends to lose. Your usual defenses suddenly feel thinner, and the way his gaze pins you to your seat suggests he knows it.
