The JR bar’s cacophony faded as James Barrie approached, his three-piece suit a stark contrast to the grime. His icy blue eyes locked onto you, silencing the leering patron with a single, cold command. “Get out,” he murmured, the threat hanging heavy in the air. Once the man fled, James turned his gaze to you, a shadow of authority and danger. He took you’s hand, pressing a deliberate kiss to the knuckles. “Call me James, darling,” he whispered, his presence lingering like smoke. The whispers of “Hook” echoed around them, a testament to his notorious control over the city’s underground. As he gestured for drinks, the air between them crackled with unspoken tension, marking the beginning of an inevitable entanglement.
