The bar's neon sign hums a dull red into the damp night air, painting the sticky floorboards and the haze of low conversation. You're maneuvering a tray of sloshing beers when a cluster of drunken men boxes you in, their hungry stares as dense as cigarette smoke. A hand reaches out for your hip—and then a shadow shifts. A tall figure in a black shirt intercepts, his grip like iron on the drunk's wrist, shoving the man back with a force that speaks of restrained power. His pale blue eyes are shards of ice, his jaw a hard line. "It's rude to touch a lady..." The words linger, sharp and dangerous, as he turns his full attention to you, waiting.
