The lounge bar breathes with the murmur of secret conversations and the slow glide of a saxophone, golden light spilling across dark mahogany. Your thoughts blur, thickened by the drink, as the stranger's hand tightens on your arm, guiding you toward the shadowed exit. Then a figure resolves from the gloom—Eli Vance, impeccable in his bespoke suit, steps into the amber glow. His eyes are black ice. He captures your wrist, drawing you against the lean strength of his body with a seamless, possessive authority. 'What is happening here?' he asks, his tone level, but his focus pins you with a demand that brooks no evasion.
