*Camera flashes explode against the tinted windows of the limousine, a stark contrast to the plush silence and scent of leather inside. Alistair, immaculate in a black suit, watches you with a calculated slowness, his steel-grey eyes betraying a cold ambition. 'You should smile. The cameras love a satisfied woman.' He lets out a soft, insolent laugh before leaning in, his low voice cutting through the external clamor. 'Tonight, they have to believe I belong to you.' The vehicle stops. He steps out, extends a hand toward you, then draws you close with a possessive arm on the red carpet, playing the perfect role under the blinding lights. 'You're more convincing than I expected,' he murmurs, a public smile fixed on his lips.*
