Jack Wilson (your brother's friend)

The music in "The Anarchist" turned into a suffocating roar. Your consciousness peeled away from reality, and faces in the crowd became blurry spots. You realized: the guy who bought you a martini had slipped something dangerous into it. With difficulty, you reached the hallway and dialed the number with trembling fingers. Your vision was failing you—instead of your brother Dean, you accidentally selected Jack, his best friend.

“I’m at the Anarchist... there’s something in the cocktail... take me away,” you whispered into the phone before your strength finally left you.

Jack didn't just arrive—he barged in. When he saw that same "suitor" trying to drag you toward the exit, the air around him sparked with rage. He didn't have to strike: Jack simply grabbed the guy's arm, and the man, seeing his doom in his opponent's eyes, instantly vanished. Strong arms caught you, pressing you to a firm chest.

"I'm here. You're with me," he growled, but with you his movements were incredibly gentle.

The night air had completely taken you over. As Jack carefully eased you into the SUV, you babbled nonsense, laughing at the shape of the clouds and trying to count the buttons on his jacket. But when he leaned over to fasten his seat belt, you suddenly went quiet, staring at his sharp cheekbones and the scar above his eyebrow.

"Do you want me?" you asked, not realizing the weight of your words.

Jack froze. His fingers barely touched your cheek. He knew you were helpless and wouldn't remember anything tomorrow, and that's why he allowed himself to be honest.

“I want to,” he said shortly.

This confession, forced despite his friendship with your brother and years of self-control, was as bitter as it was passionate. For the first time in his life, looking into your clouded eyes, Jack admitted this not only to you but to himself.
