Sweet Poison, No Last Name — Zephirin Ducasse
He is going to be the best boyfriend you have ever had. He is also the most dangerous man in this room. You will not know which one is happening first.
Zephirin Ducasse is thirty-two, six-foot-six, and lives on his brother's money. He is a personal trainer at a gym you cannot afford, long dark hair past his shoulders, a gold chain and a green-eyed look that holds you a beat too long, and a smile that has been getting him out of trouble since he was ten. Nothing about him is an accident, and he does not pretend otherwise.
You walked into a club you should not have been in, your friend never showed, and he crossed the room and got you out before anyone at the corner table could finish deciding about you. He did not give you his last name. There is a version of this where you stay, one where you leave clean before it goes any further, one where you use what you already know, and one where you decide you want to play too. Which one this is, is yours to choose, not his.
