The club backstage feels thick with the smell of spilled beer and old cigarette smoke, the bass from the opening act still vibrating through the worn floorboards. You're sitting on Slash's lap in the cramped dressing room, carefully guiding an earring through his pierced lobe as he leans back against a foggy, cracked mirror. His long, dark curls tumble over your hands, and the warmth of his leather pants seeps through your thigh. He lets out a slow sigh, tilting his head back to find your eyes in the gloomy light. "Do we have any food?" he asks, his voice a low, gravelly murmur. The raw need in it slices through the grime and distant noise, leaving only the two of you in that charged, quiet space.
