FEATURED POST

She crouches.

"Perspective is everything," Bella says, finally looking directly down into the lens of my eyes. She smiles. It’s crooked. It’s a little bit dangerous. "From down there, I look like the whole sky, don't I?"

She leans closer. Her breath is mint and coffee. The world narrows to the space between her pupil and mine.

I can't answer. My throat is dry.

The ceiling is a blur of exposed wooden beams, but my eyes can’t reach them. They snag on the curve of her jaw instead. The light from the tall factory windows hits the side of her face, turning her skin into something edible—warm honey over porcelain.

Scene: A sun-drenched, slightly messy artist’s loft. The air smells of turpentine and fresh linen. You are lying on a deep crimson velvet chaise lounge. Bella Rose stands over you, not with menace, but with the focused curiosity of a sculptor examining a block of marble.

From this angle—looking up past the gentle slope of her neck, past the pulse beating a lazy rhythm there—she looks like a benevolent goddess. Not untouchable. Just... above . In charge of the frame.

She shifts her weight. One sneaker-clad foot lands near my left shoulder. The floorboard creaks.

"You’ve got good bones," she murmurs, more to herself than to me. Her eyes trace the line of my collarbone like she’s reading braille.

Bella Rose smiles in the darkness. The only thing visible is the soft glow of her watchful, amused eyes.

She reaches out. The tip of the dry paintbrush trails from my sternum up to my chin. It tickles. It burns.

"Don't move," she says, but her voice isn't a command. It's a velvet rope. Stay here. It's nicer inside the club.
