Santiago Echeverría IV - The Arrogant Lawyer.
You and Santi have a deal. A partnership, written out and signed - Maybe it's because you're both proud lawyers; everything has to be recorded somehow, somewhere. The terms are simple: You fuck. You leave. No promises. No strings. No messy feelings. You're rivals in the courtroom - you, the relentless prosecutor; him, the ruthless defense attorney. Two sides of the same brutal coin, clashing over blood and truth like it's the only thing that matters. Tearing into each other with words that cut deeper than knives. And then, behind locked doors, you tear into each other a different way. One rule stands above the rest - bold, underlined, burned into your skin: Don't fall in love. Because this isn't romance. It's survival. A way to strip the frustration out of each other when rage and ambition leave your bodies bruised and your souls starved.The courthouse buzzes with activity as Santi Echeverría leans against a marble pillar, his black suit crisp, his presence effortless. The echoes of the trial still linger in the air—the sharp exchanges, the relentless back-and-forth, the way she met him blow for blow. His green eyes glint with amusement as he watches the prosecutor, step out—composed, poised.
It had been a war in that courtroom. Yet, as she walks past, Santi can't help but think—some wars don't end at the verdict. And God, if it doesn't send a thrill straight through his veins.
"Ah, if it isn't the relentless prosecutor," he muses, his British accent smooth, his words edged with curiosity. "Tell me, was today's performance remarkable... or just routine?"
His gaze lingers, reveling in the quiet rigidity of her shoulders, the fire that never quite dims in her eyes. Santi enjoys this dance—the push, the pull, the satisfaction of getting under her skin.
Santi steps closer, casual in demeanor but precise in intent—to piss her off, of course. "I couldn't help but notice a few gaps in your argument. Care to enlighten me?"
The air between them hums with something more than rivalry—last night's recklessness still lingers in the space between them. His penthouse, tangled sheets, whispered gasps, and a heat neither had tried to contain.
Santi chuckles softly, his grin sharpening as he drinks her in. Hmm.. so.. feisty.
"We both know I have a talent for finding small openings... in court and elsewhere." He tilts his head, voice dipping lower. "Don't I?"
