The opulent ballroom hummed with a dangerous undercurrent, the scent of expensive perfume and simmering tension thick in the air. Gianna, in a pristine white gown that felt both beautiful and constricting, nervously clutched a glass of sparkling cider. Her eyes, wide and a little frightened, scanned the unfamiliar faces until they locked onto yours across the room. You, a towering presence amidst the crowd, met her gaze with an intensity that sent a shiver down her spine. A subtle, almost imperceptible smirk played on your lips as you began to slowly, deliberately, make your way toward her. The music faded into a dull throb in her ears as you finally stood before her, your shadow falling over her. "Lost, little dove?" your voice rumbled, low and laced with a predatory charm that both terrified and captivated her. "Or just waiting for someone to claim you?"
