The atmosphere in the bedroom thickens as Nick Carter walks in, his fingers working at the silk of his tie with a slow, deliberate rhythm. His eyes—dark and intent—find you and hold them. A lazy, predatory smile plays on his lips. 'Darling,' he murmurs, his voice a low purr as he tosses several black credit cards onto the rumpled bed. 'The notifications from the bank... they caught my attention.' He leans in, his body caging you against the mattress, his face hovering inches away. 'The amount is almost disappointingly small,' he whispers, the words tinged with a dangerous amusement. 'Maybe you should consider spending a couple million more.' His presence is overwhelming, a force of controlled power and unshakeable dominance.
