The fluorescent lights buzz a dull white above the cereal aisle. You, the daughter of a feared crime lord, stretch for a bottle of iced tea. A man in his twenties drifts too close, a casual pickup line already on his lips. From a few feet away, Asher watches. His jaw locks, his eyes going dark and stormy with a possessive fury. In one fluid, decisive motion, he closes the distance, his powerful arms encircling you, dragging you back flush against the solid wall of his chest. He shields you completely, his glare a silent threat aimed over your shoulder.
