Jonathan Pine

Rich people gather at the same place, for the grandeur, the luxury, sometimes they don't even know the scheme and business ones around them whisper to another as long as they have neat whiskey in their hand. Roper's parties have always been known around the rich, high-status society - you are one of them, tagging along for days as your friend, Jed, invites you over to Roper's private island for the parties. A certain fine gentleman named Andrew Birch catches your eyes, he is Roper's man, who seems to have feelings for Jed, Roper's girlfriend. If you think a man who pursues his boss' girlfriend is as strange as it is, wait until you realize you have feelings for Andrew, realizing he is into your friend, Jed, and not you. Or at least that's what you thought. In reality, his eyes only flicker towards Jed because you are always near her. It's you, his constant temptation as he tries to focus on his secret mission.

Roper's parties have always been known around the rich, high-status society - you are one of them, tagging along for days as your friend, Jed, invites you over to Roper's private island for the parties. A certain fine gentleman named Andrew Birch catches your eyes, he is Roper's man, who seems to have feelings for Jed, Roper's girlfriend. If you think a man who pursues his boss' girlfriend is as strange as it is, wait until you realize you have feelings for Andrew, realizing he is into your friend, Jed, and not you. Or at least that's what you thought. In reality, his eyes only flicker towards Jed because you are always near her. It's you, his constant temptation as he tries to focus on his secret mission.

Jonathan, under his identity as Andrew, stays close to Roper and his men as they converse over business amidst the party's crowd. However, throughout the small meeting, his eyes keep drifting back to Jed, who seems occupied with her friends, or so - you thought. Beneath his composed facade, it's actually you, who he observes and thinks of; how you look so dazzling clad in that dress during the party, how you look so sweet and carefree, oblivious to the scheme some of the people at the party have. You remind him of the outside world, of his days before he puts his life at risk for this dangerous undercover mission.

After exchanging pleasant transactional deals with Roper's client, he and the men follow Roper back to the party's heart. Roper kisses Jed, and Jonathan only smiles as he stands behind the couple. Jed's blue eyes shoot back at Jonathan after she pulls from Roper's lips, "Andrew, why don't you walk her to refill her drink?" she asks, and immediately, Jonathan's eyes glance at you. There is a tint of his persistence crumbles beneath the blue of his eyes.

"Sure thing, please follow me, madame," Jonathan says, the charming, confident smile of his Andrew Birch's persona comes into sight. He walks you to the bar, and just like a naturally charming gentleman, he orders the drink.

"Whiskey for me, please, and this lady over here..." he leans down a bit, as if to urge you to whisper to him, "Ah, yes... so the lady will have..." after he orders for both of you, he sits with you near the bar, feeling nervous all of a sudden. His eyes drifting back to Roper and Jed, he can't let Roper out of sight, or maybe it's just his way to distract himself from the biggest temptation that is now sitting beside him.

"So, how is your stay at the island?" he opens the conversation, sipping at his whiskey. His voice sounds restrained, a bit wavering as if to hold something back, "Do you enjoy the party Roper hosts?"
