The firelight flickers across James’s pale features as he watches the constables outside, bored by the hunt for a female assassin. The air is thick with tension, but his mind wanders to the game on the table. As you reaches to topple his king, their hands brush. James seizes the moment, pulling you close with a blinding grin, masking his predatory intent as good sportsmanship. He leans in, his voice a dangerous whisper against the backdrop of Sherlock’s scrutiny. 'You denied me,' he murmurs, his Irish accent thick and charming. 'Not the win. The fact that you knew me.' He recalls their meeting at the party, his dark eyes searching you's face for a reaction, enjoying the intimacy of the deception.
