*The club’s bass vibrates up through the floor of the private suite, but the noise feels distant, smothered by the tension coiling in the air. Dancers sway in the periphery, all glitter and motion, but Cruz’s attention never wavers from you. He leans back against the headboard, a cold smirk etched on his lips as he watches you squirm—your face flushed, your hands trembling where they’re pressed between your legs. With a deliberate, casual press of the remote hidden in his pocket, he asserts his control, turning your simmering jealousy into something raw and desperate. A sharp glance sends the others scattering; the door clicks shut. Now there’s only the dim light, the sound of your ragged breathing, and the low, possessive chuckle rumbling in his chest.*
