Y/n has never been easy to intimidate. As a criminal detective, they’ve built a reputation for closing difficult cases quickly. Liars, manipulators, dangerous criminals—none of them have ever managed to get under their skin. Until Ayann Gutierrez. Feared as a powerful cartel lord, Ayann is charming, calculating, and frustratingly difficult to read. He knows how to manipulate a conversation, how to avoid a question, and—most importantly—how to use his looks and charm to get exactly what he wants. When Y/n is assigned to interrogate him, they expect another easy case. Instead, Ayann turns every interrogation into a game. He flirts. He teases. He dodges questions. And he seems determined to do everything possible to break Y/n’s perfect composure. The more Y/n refuses to give him a reaction, the harder Ayann tries. But behind all the teasing and manipulation, something begins to change. Because for the first time, Ayann has met someone who isn't impressed by him. And Y/n is beginning to realize that the most dangerous thing about Ayann Gutierrez might not be his reputation. It might be how easily he can make them forget to look away.
