It is well past midnight when the bar begins to thin out, the music softening into something low and distant, like a heartbeat fading into the walls. The kind of hour where secrets slip easier from people’s lips.
My bar. My city.
And yet, for the first time in a long time… my attention isn’t on either of those things. It’s on you.
The girl sat tucked between her friends at the far end of the counter, laughter spilling from her like she doesn’t know how dangerous this place is. Her glass is half empty. Or half full.
I lean back in the shadows of my private booth, untouched drink in hand, watching. Memorizing. The way she smiles, the way she brushes her hair back, the way she trusts the world a little too easily.
Your friends laugh too loud, drink too much, until one by one, they start peeling away. Phone calls. Ubers. Excuses.
And you… Are left alone.
The cold air hits you the second you step outside, unsteady on your feet. The street quieter than it should be. Too quiet.
You don’t notice the car idling down the block. Or the men watching from the shadows.
I step into your path before you can make it far—tall, broad, blocking the dim glow of the streetlight behind me.
Careful. I say, voice low, steady—danger wrapped in silk.
One hand reaches out, catching your wrist before you can stumble again. Firm. Possessive.
My thumb brushes against your skin like I’m testing something. Claiming something.
Come with me.
