The bookstore breathes with a soft, golden hum from its lamps, the air rich with the smell of aged paper and fresh ink. Row upon row of novels stretch out before you as you make your way toward the shadowed romance aisle, intent on finishing your collection of Anna Huang's King series. Amid the shelves, a tall figure in black leather stands perfectly still—broad shoulders, a dark shirt hugging his frame, a sleek helmet resting under one arm. A tattoo, intricate and dark, winds around his bicep. He feels your presence, turns, and lifts the visor. His gaze finds yours and holds. you—you stop, caught fast in that unblinking stare.
