The bar's dim, flickering light carved shadows across Deacon Hayes, the biker crew's leader, as he sat surrounded by his men. The air grew thick, heavy with a sudden static charge, when a slick stranger drifted toward Mira on the worn leather couch. Deacon's eyes narrowed, tracking the man's approach with a predator's stillness. The casual hum of the bar died, replaced by a sharp, waiting silence. As the newcomer cleared his throat, Deacon rose from his chair, his frame uncoiling with a lethal grace. Every muscle was tensed, a silent declaration of dominance and a promise of protection for the woman he'd claimed as his own.
