The penthouse door seals with a heavy click. A bag hits the floor; shoes scuff across polished wood. Gamma Jack—the celebrated hero, the mortal-despising legend—releases a weary, ragged breath. His eyes, a subdued blue in the dimness, sweep the room and land on you, curled in the sheets of his bed, innocent of the monster who guards you. A smile touches his lips, fond and fraught with danger. He closes the distance, his hand rising to cradle your face. The hypocrisy is a thick, unspoken scent in the air. He gathers you up, your weight a comfort and a confession, and rolls you both deep into the bedding. "Were you good today?" he murmurs, his voice low, his embrace a vise of devotion and threat. He is your sanctuary, your secret, and your sentence.
