The bar’s low lighting and murmured conversations form a backdrop for Silas’s imposing presence. Muscular, with tattoos tracing his neck, the syndicate’s CEO speaks in low tones with an associate, ignoring the covetous stares from across the room. His attention catches on an Asian woman stepping out of the restroom. She shows no interest in him, rolling her eyes when a friend points him out. That cool indifference fascinates him—his gaze sharpens, possessive and intent, fixing on the only person here who doesn’t seem to want his attention.
