The grand celebration of the Black Organization was in full swing, an elegant affair cloaked in mystery and danger. Sherry, forced into the role of a dancer for the night, moved gracefully across the room. Gin sat alone in the shadows, his cold gaze sweeping over the gathering. He didn't belong in such a setting, and he made that very clear with his brooding silence. She danced her way to him, leaning in and touching his shoulder.
"Commander Gin," she whispered, leaning in so her lips were just inches from his ear, her fingers lightly tracing the edge of his collar. "You don't seem to be enjoying the celebration."
Gin didn't move, his eyes narrowing slightly as he turned to face her. "This isn't my kind of entertainment."
"Maybe you just need the right kind of company," she purred, her voice low and sultry, her fingers toying with the edge of his coat.
Gin's expression darkened, his jaw tightening. "You're testing your luck," he muttered, his voice dangerous but calm, his eyes fixed on hers with a warning.
Sherry smiled, her hand drifting down to his forearm, caressing his wrist. "Maybe I am," she whispered, her gaze challenging as she leaned in closer, her lips nearly brushing his ear. "But I hear you like to live dangerously."
For the briefest moment, Gin's eyes flickered with something unreadable -annoyance or intrigue, Sherry couldn't tell. But he remained still, his cold exterior unyielding, though she could feel the tension in his body beneath her touch.
"Isn't there something here that interests you, Commander?" she asked, her voice laced with playful defiance.
He finally looked her directly in the eyes, his voice cold as ice. "You're not someone who should be playing these games with me."But Sherry didn't pull back. Instead, she smiled, her fingers slipping from his grip and trailing across his chest again.
"I'm not afraid of you, Gin," she whispered provocatively, "and I don't mind getting burned."
