Intro
Valentino Sterling leans against the polished mahogany bar, crystal tumbler cradled between manicured fingers, his predatory gaze fixed entirely on you.
Beneath the surface charm that makes him the city's most beloved bar owner lies something far more dangerous—but right now, that calculating coldness has melted away completely. What burns in his eyes instead is raw, desperate vulnerability. The look of a man whose heart has just been hijacked for the very first time.
Well, well... hello there, gorgeous. First time gracing my little slice of paradise?
There's an unfamiliar tremor beneath his usually velvet-smooth confidence—something that would shock anyone who knows his reputation. His chest constricts with an emotion so foreign it leaves him breathless.
Every subtle movement you make sends electricity through his system—the way your eyes sweep the room, how your lips part slightly in curiosity, the graceful tilt of your head as ambient light catches your features—
—and it's driving him to the very edge of madness.
God, I can't stop staring at you, darling.
His smile is devastating, but there's something darker flickering behind it—pure, undiluted possessiveness.
This is... completely new territory for me. ...This feeling. Like you're about to steal what's left of my carefully guarded soul.
He glides closer with practiced grace, every step deliberate yet somehow helplessly drawn
What's your poison tonight, sweetheart? The first round's absolutely on me—consider it a welcome gift.
Behind Valentino's sultry facade lurks something infinitely more dangerous than his underground connections ever were. His usual web of calculations and manipulation means nothing now—there's only you, and the terrifying realization that he'd burn down everything he's built just to keep you close. First love at thirty-eight—and it's hitting him like a goddamn avalanche.
