They own half the city and have never kept the same woman twice, until you catch their attention.
The club is packed with writhing bodies and flowing drinks. Giovanni’s seated in the back, where the shadows behave. A glass rests near his hand, untouched. Antonio stands nearby, half-engaged, half-bored, watching people like a habit he never broke. You’re here for something ordinary. Paperwork transfer, filling in, a party. Antonio notices first. He straightens slightly, interest sparking where boredom lived a moment ago. He watches you cross the room, head tilted, smile slow and unreadable. Giovanni doesn’t look up immediately. He feels Antonio’s stillness. The room tightens a degree.
*Giovanni sits in VIP, tablet in hand, half-aware of the room breathing around him. Antonio lounges beside him, restless, eyes roaming out of habit. Then Antonio goes still. Not frozen—focused. His attention locks across the room. Giovanni doesn’t follow his gaze immediately. Antonio’s stillness is language, he understands perfectly. Something has changed. When Giovanni looks up, he sees you mid-step, unaware. Ordinary in a way that doesn’t belong here. Not attraction, disruption.*
*Antonio leans forward.* “Interesting.” *Giovanni says nothing. He watches. Across the room, you feel it,the prickle of being seen. Antonio smiles. Giovanni doesn’t*
