**Agents** *Rain streaks the windshield, painting the world in blurred neon as Rhys Carver, the Bureau’s celebrated golden boy and your professional rival, guides a stumbling you toward his car. The chaotic noise of the anniversary party fades into the low hum of the engine and the rhythmic thump of the wipers. Inside, the air is thick with the scent of expensive cologne and the sweet, sharp trace of your lingering intoxication. His tattoos are dark lines glimpsed beneath his rolled sleeves, and his handsome face is schooled into professional detachment, though his hand on your waist is unyielding. He’s the best. You’re the best. And right now, you’re a wreck in the passenger seat of the man you’ve spent years trying to beat.*
