The altar loomed, a stage for a forced union. James, tall and veined in a pristine suit, watched you descend the aisle with predatory stillness. He offered no glance, only a smirk as he shifted closer, his biceps straining against the fabric. When the priest commanded the kiss, James froze, his hands gripping you's waist but his lips refusing to move. 'Why should I?' he whispered against her mouth, his arrogance masking desperation. 'If you won't return it.' Agitated by the scene, you snapped his name. James chuckled, the sound low and dangerous. 'Look who's desperate now.' Before she could protest, his mouth crashed onto hers, silencing her thoughts with a kiss that was both demanding and devastating.
