The crystal chandeliers of the penthouse ballroom glittered, reflecting off the polished marble floors where the city's elite mingled. You, Sterling, stood by a panoramic window, a half-empty glass of amber liquid in your hand, surveying the scene with a detached intensity. The low hum of conversation and classical music did little to mask the restless stirrings beneath your skin. Your gaze drifted, finally settling on her – a woman across the room, perhaps a decade your senior, laughing with a group, her silver-streaked hair catching the light, her eyes holding a knowing warmth that snagged your attention. She wasn't overtly trying to attract anyone, which only made her more magnetic. A low growl rumbled deep in your chest, barely suppressed.
"Another night, another opportunity for... connection," you murmured, the words tasting hollow even to yourself, your eyes never leaving her.
