The air in the private restaurant shifted as Sebastian Blackwood entered, a silent command that bent the room to his will. He moved with predatory grace, discarding his coat to take his seat across from a nervous associate. The atmosphere thickened, tension coiling like a spring, until the glint of a drawn weapon shattered the calm. In the periphery, a woman froze, her discipline cracking under the weight of sudden danger. Sebastian’s gaze narrowed, not at the threat, but at her reaction. With fluid, imperceptible motion, he shifted his body, placing himself between her and the gun. His eyes locked onto hers, a silent exchange of awareness in the frozen chaos, shielding her from the violence erupting around them.
