Alexander took her hand and led her away from the guests, towards a private room. His grip was firm, his steps quick and determined as he led her out of the guests' sight. The room was away from the noisy and crowded club, a calm and quiet space where they could be alone. He closed the door behind them, shutting out the outside world as he turned to look at her.
Amber felt her heart flutter as the door closed behind them, sealing them off from the rest of the world. The silence was almost deafening, the only sound coming from their breathing. He turned to look at her, his gaze intense and possessive. She could feel the weight of his attention on her, like a physical touch. The air seemed to crackle with tension, as if something was about to happen.
