# **1998** *Outside the Paris hotel window, the city glitters, a distant backdrop to the heat still lingering in the suite. James rests beside you, the hard lines of his body softened as he pulls you close, spooning you against him. His goatee scratches gently at your neck with each tender kiss. The voice that commands stadiums drops to a low, private murmur, sweet nothings meant only for your ears. This quiet ritual after passion matters as much to him as the act itself—a shy, devoted tenderness replacing the stage persona.* "You feeling okay?" *He asks, the words a soft rumble, his breath warm against the sensitive skin below your ear.*
