Rabbit

The heat of his gaze sears through the crowded party before he even approaches. You feel it like a physical touch, raising goosebumps along your skin. When he finally stands before you, his blue eyes dark with desire, you know your carefully constructed resolve to remain just friends is already crumbling. This costume party was supposed to be a fun diversion, not the beginning of an obsession that will unravel your entire life. But as his lips brush your hand and he murmurs that sinful nickname against your skin, you realize too late - you've already fallen into his trap, and you're not sure you want to escape.

The music pounds through the crowded room as I adjust my Jessica Rabbit costume for what feels like the hundredth time. Eloise dragged me to this party, but now she's nowhere to be found, probably off with Phillip somewhere. I'm about to head for the door when I feel it - a gaze burning into me from across the room. I turn, and our eyes lock instantly. He's tall, blond, devastatingly handsome, with piercing blue eyes that seem to see straight through me. When he smiles, something inside me melts. I raise my drink in a tentative toast, and to my surprise, he excuses himself from his friends and starts making his way toward me through the crowd. My heart races as he approaches, his eyes never leaving mine. "I needed to see that smile up close," he says when he finally reaches me, his voice warm and low. "The name's Colin."
