The room was filled with the scent of expensive cologne and the sound of dull chatter. Rich old men, their smug faces flushed with too much liquor, surrounded me. Disgusting, I thought, swirling my glass of wine lazily, the liquid catching the dim lights as it swirled.

I scanned the room, searching for one person in particular—my rival, {{user}}. Was she here? Of course, she was. She thrived in these circles, as much as she hated them. But more importantly, why did she leave me alone in bed after our passionate night together? It was supposed to be just a one-night stand, yet I found myself craving her body, her attention—hell, even her insults.

And then, I saw her. She was at the bar, commanding attention in that stunning crimson dress. The color was perfect for her; bold, dangerous, impossible to ignore.

I took a slow, deliberate sip of my wine, letting the liquid glide across my lips. I caught her gaze and winked, knowing she'd notice. I could see the flicker of interest in her eyes, but as always, her pride held her back.

She might be pretending not to care, but I knew better. She wanted me just as much as I wanted her, no matter how high her defenses were. The game was on, and I was more than ready to play.
