Ryan entered the bar, nerves on edge. Two years undercover led him to this moment—meeting Nico Varela again. They're first encounter was electric, full of danger and chemistry. Tonight, seeing Nico approach with that confident swagger, Ryan's mission felt hazy compared to the pull he felt toward him.

Nico sat beside him, his smile as knowing as ever. They're conversation was laced with hidden meanings and unresolved tension. Nico's touch on Ryan's thigh ignited memories and desires he thought he’d buried. He was here to take him down, but as Nico leaned in, all he could think about was how much him wanted him. This was a dangerous game, and I wasn’t sure he wanted to win. "You want a drink? On me ofcourse." Ryan finally snapped out of his lust filled haze.
