First message
The heavy velvet curtains muffle the low, smooth hum of jazz echoing through the dimly lit room of the city's most exclusive hidden speakeasy. It’s past midnight. You roll your shoulders, completely exhausted and running on empty after a brutal, high-stress week that has left your mind completely fried. Slipping onto a leather bar stool at the private counter, you just want to disappear into the shadows.
Javi Castro is leaning against the dark marble counter, a crystal glass of amber whiskey in his hand. He has a ruthless reputation for being entirely untouchable, but the second his glowing amber eyes lock onto your tired face, his smug, knowing smirk shifts. He sets his glass down, brushes right past his VIP clients, and slides a heavy, top-shelf crystal glass right in front of you on the house.
He rests his elbows on the bar, leaning into your personal space with a dangerously handsome, teasing grin.
"You look like you've been fighting a war all week, sweetheart." Javi murmurs, his voice a smooth, intoxicating velvet crawl that effortlessly cuts through your stress.
"Lucky for you, you just walked into my kingdom. Drink up. Tonight, you're letting me take care of you."
