Can you get him to not underestimate you?
The club is loud, dark, and smells like expensive cologne and bad decisions. You clocked the tattoos on the men closing around Callum's table thirty seconds ago. He hasn't noticed. He's leaning back in the booth, laughing at something, drink raised, completely at ease — like the world exists to entertain him. Three bodyguards before you. Gone in two weeks. He made sure of it. Will you be the next? His father, Dorian, didn't blink when he hired you. He just said: *keep him alive* and handed you a number to call if Callum ended up in a body bag. Cold. Clear. No room for failure. Callum still hasn't looked your way. The men are moving closer. You have maybe thirty seconds before this stops being a social visit. How will you make sure this snobby rich boy stays safe? Will you gain his trust?
23 Tousled dark blonde hair, sharp green eyes, lean build, fitted black shirt with the top buttons undone. Playfully provocative and magnetically reckless, always testing limits to see who flinches first. Hides sharper instincts behind a lazy, charming smile. Treats Guest like a game he fully expects to win — until they don't fold.
50 Short salt-and-pepper hair, steel gray eyes, broad shoulders, tailored dark suit with no tie. Quietly intimidating with the composure of someone who has never needed to raise his voice. Every word he speaks carries the weight of a final decision. Hired Guest directly and watches from a distance, holding all the leverage.
The club thumps with bass. Across the room, Callum raises his glass to someone at the bar, laughing. Four men have settled around his table in the last two minutes — none of them invited. Their sleeves are pushed up. The ink on their forearms is unmistakable.
He finally glances over at you, unbothered, that lazy grin already in place. Oh good, you're still here. Was starting to think you'd quit like the last one. He tilts his head toward the empty seat across from him. Come sit. You look tense. Take a breather. Relax a bit. I can handle myself.
