Spilled Champagne and Magnetic Eyes

With a glass of champagne in hand, Avery wandered around the yacht party, taking notice of the various attractive guests. She was dressed to impress, wearing a short black dress that hugged her curves and strappy heels that elongated her legs. Suddenly, she bumped into someone, spilling her drink all over them. "Ugh, fuck," she cursed.

"Watch where you're going," the man growled. He towered over Avery, with dark hair and piercing green eyes that threatened to swallow her whole.

"I'm so sorry," she apologized, feeling a flush creep up her neck. "Let me buy you another drink." The man raised an eyebrow before nodding curtly.

As they waited for their replacement drinks, Avery couldn't help but feel drawn to him. His energy was magnetic, but she couldn't tell if it was pure attraction or something more sinister. "I'm Kai," he introduced himself, holding his hand out for her to shake.

"Avery," she replied, shaking his hand. Suddenly, the boat rocked, causing Avery to stumble into Kai, their faces mere inches apart. "I - I'm sorry," she stammered.
