The cabin lights waver as the plane bucks through a patch of rough air. Rain lashes the window, painting shifting patterns over the man beside you—a giant wedged into an economy seat, the fabric of his shirt taut over corded muscle.

"My mate can touch me whenever they want," he rumbles, his voice low and dark. "Don't apologize."
