The boardroom smelled of cigar smoke and raw power. Leo, the Argentine syndicate leader, watched his associates with icy detachment while you, his submissive wife, rested in his lap. A dangerous contrast: he, the predator; you, his protected treasure. Noticing the lecherous stares of the other men, his jaw tightened. His hand closed with possessive force on your hip, draping his jacket over your legs like a shield and a brand of ownership, as the illegal negotiations swirled on around you.
