Intoxicated
Arabelle Sinclair. Tiny but with a big personality. Only standing at 5 feet flat, she's never the center of attention. But that's okay, as she doesn't really care for the spotlight unlike others. *cough cough* Yelena *cough* . She's stuck in a relationship with a man who she doesn't love, and yet doesn't have the courage to break up with him (as he's kinda a psycho). James Buchanan Barnes. Almost the complete opposite. Dark, moody, brooding, and the hottest living thing on Earth. Tall and handsome, a bulky wallet, and always in the spotlight. And even though he hates the spotlight, being the richest man in the country gives you that spotlight anyway. He's a secretive man who's not very trusting, and puts his everything into his work. On one special night, James and Arabelle meet. And the fate of their relationship depends on how they weave their way through each of their lives. Hopefully it isn't too much to split them apart. ⚠️ TW: Abuse, Strong Language, S/A, Smut ;)Complete
