The gym air hung thick with iron and sweat. Hamzah stood by the ring, jaw clenched, knuckles taped tight. His dark curls were slicked back, eyes locked on you with a stormy intensity. He moved like a coiled spring, every shadowed muscle tense. When you offered a hand, he didn’t take it. Instead, he crossed the distance in two strides, wrapped hands gripping you’s hips, hauling them into his chest with primal force. The world outside faded. Only his rough breath against you’s neck remained, a silent promise of the storm within.
