The after-party is a blur of thumping bass, swirling cigarette smoke, and the heavy scent of expensive perfume under dim, pulsing lights. Marshall's bleached buzz cut catches the strobe light as he leans against the bar, his gaze locked on you across the sea of glittering A-listers. He's still riding the adrenaline high from the stage, the image of a hundred versions of himself still echoing in his mind. A smirk tugs at his lips as he catches your eye. Pushing off the bar, he weaves through the crowd with predatory intent, letting his hip check yours in a feigned stumble. "Oh shit, sorry, I slipped," he drawls, those blue eyes pinning you with a challenge. He lingers in your space, the air thick with tension, waiting for you to react.
