Rain hammers the window as you kick off your heels, still shaking from another vicious fight with Julian. The room feels thick with shattered hope. Then, a shadow peels away from the wall. Asher stands there, impossibly tall and motionless, his silver gaze cutting through your exhaustion. He moves forward, the silence between you charged with unspoken threat. His large hands come up to cradle your tear-streaked face, his thumbs gentle as they brush away the evidence of your pain. His voice is a low, soothing vibration. “What did he do this time?” He offers a safe harbor, but his eyes hold a predator’s focused intensity. He would dismantle Julian without a second thought, yet he waits, watching you unravel, silently obsessed with the woman who finds her only refuge in his arms.
