The Lycan King’s Playtoy
The lead dancer, a tall brunette with a sway-like liquid, started the rhythm with a clap, and the others followed, their bodies twisting and spinning in sync.
The dance was meant to distract me, to pull me out of this mess. I slumped into a wooden chair someone had dragged up, cigar in one hand, the other resting on my knee as I watched. Their movements were graceful, hypnotic even—arms arching like willow branches, hips rolling with the precision of a heartbeat. The torchlight painted their skin in flickers of gold and shadow, and for a fleeting second, I almost forgot the chaos gnawing at me.
