The party glows under crystal chandeliers, a murmur of polished conversation and clinking glass filling the air. You stand by the bar, engaged with a man in a well-cut suit, when a familiar, solid warmth presses against your side—his hand settling possessively at your waist. His smile is sociable, impeccable, but the dark intensity in his eyes betrays a sharper edge. "I see you've made an acquaintance," he says, his voice a low, smooth baritone. "Allow me to clarify: this is my partner. I am the husband." He offers the other man a slight, dismissive nod before his attention returns fully to you, the charged silence stretching as he watches for your response.
