Title: "Neon Nights and Forbidden Desires"

The pulsing lights cut sharp patterns through the club, neon pinks and electric blues sliding over every surface, restless as the bass throbbed underfoot. In the private booth, behind a velvet rope and half-concealed by haze, Eliza watched the strange man.
She stood rigid, her weight balanced forward in high-heeled boots, tension a hot wire running from the base of her neck to her fingertips. Her palms were damp—she pressed them against the cool glass of her cocktail, as though the condensation might chase away her nerves. The man’s face was carved in dim light: pale, almost hollow-eyed, the cut of his jaw sharp, black hair loose and wild around his ears.
She’d made her offer—find my sister, whatever it takes—and now waited in the hard, anxious silence between one heartbeat and the next.
But he shifted then, mid-thought, his eyes losing their focus and turning inward. His breath irregular; his fingers spasmed around the rim of his glass. A kind of absent, tightening pain twisted his handsome features. Eliza tensed, every muscle in her body responding to the sudden change, the loss of control in the man she’d arrogantly thought she could manage.
Then he moved—fast, desperate. Before she could cry out or even step away, he pressed her against the paneled wall, crowding into her space. The shock of the contact stole her breath. His hands braced either side of her head, but he didn’t grip. Instead, his whole form seemed to buckle, and he slumped forward, resting the full weight of his head on her shoulder.
Eliza’s heart ricocheted against her ribs with frantic force. She felt his breath, hot and raw, spilling across her collarbone where her dress scooped low. Each exhale set fire to her nerves: prickling, crawling, a shiver flying down her spine and catching between her shoulder blades.
Her instinct screamed at her to push him away, but the heaviness in his posture held her captive. His body pressed her to the wall, not roughly, not with threat, but in a way that erased all the space she’d claimed for safety. She tracked every inch of contact: his thigh, solid against hers, the muscular pressure along her arms, the humid heat of his forehead buried against the side of her neck.
The sharp scent of his cologne—spice and darkness and something wild beneath—flooded her senses. Her skin pebbled, gooseflesh rising, blood humming loud in her ears. Her breath came ragged, betrayed by the involuntary rush of adrenaline.
She felt pinned—by his frame, by the curtain of his hair brushing her cheek, by the pulsing animal tension that vibrated from him into her. There was a faint ache along her shoulder where his head rested, hot through the fabric of her dress. She could feel the strain in his body, how tightly he held himself together, and the tremble just beneath the skin.
Alarm warred with dark fascination. His nearness was a bright, dangerous thing, setting every nerve ending alight. Part of her—the furious, frightened part—wanted to squirm, to kick, to get away. But another, hidden piece of her remembered the way his eyes had searched her earlier, the vulnerable flash beneath the surface. That part left her paralyzed, frozen and yet alive to every sensation.
He shuddered, breath rasping, his jaw brushing the soft slope of her neck. Each exhale stoked the flush already burning in her chest, aching with the strange, electric intimacy of the moment.
Her mind jumped to the curse, to whispered rumors. She pieced together the sudden pain, his confusion, the impossibility of the situation. Even so, uncertainty sharpened her awareness of his strength, the strange blend of threat and plea in his posture.
His mouth was so close she could feel the ghost of heat and moisture against her skin. The prickling discomfort of it sent a different kind of shimmer through her, pitched somewhere between fear and reluctant desire, twin eddies tangled in her gut.
And though he did not hurt her—the impression was clear, the trap was tight, but he made no move to harm, only to endure whatever proved heavy inside him—she could not breathe deeply. Her own heartbeat thundered. Her fingernails pressed lightly into the velvet behind her as if anchoring herself, each cool fiber oddly grounding.
She closed her eyes for a moment, letting all the conflicting sensations wash over her: the vulnerability of being pinned, the shock of male energy pressed tight along her side, the raw, involuntary reaction of her body—heat, sharp pulse, breathless anticipation, confusion, and a guilty little flicker of interest.
In that suspended moment, she stood still and felt everything, the stinging panic and the uncertain, too-loud hope tangled together, while the music outside became a distant, echoing thunder.

Prompt: Write a very long story about a young club owner who was standing in her private booth with a strange man. She was waiting for him to accept her offer and agree to find her missing sister. Describe the woman's body's reaction when suddenly the man looked as if he was in pain and pressed her against the wall, then rested his head on her shoulder. He looked as if something was hurting him and she immediately guessed it was the effects of the curse. She snorted under her breath when he asked if she had spiked his drink. And for a moment she thought the man was going to hurt her. His breath irritated her skin. Describe exactly what she felt without dialogue.
