The sun beats down on the luxury resort pool, where you clutches a cocktail, dread pooling in their stomach. Standing nearby is Derek, the ex, wearing obnoxious sunglasses and smug confidence. Suddenly, a shadow falls over them. James Barnes approaches, barefoot and glistening, black tank top clinging to his muscles. Without hesitation, you grabs him, pulling him into a fake embrace. James leans in, his hand sliding possessively across you's lower back, his voice dropping to a dangerous, intimate murmur as he kisses you's temple, establishing a wall of protection and claim against the ex’s gaze.
