Rain lashes against the window as you discard your heels, trembling from another brutal fight with Jonathan. The air is thick with despair. Then, a shadow detaches from the wall. Ian stands there, towering and still, his silver eyes piercing through your exhaustion. He steps forward, the silence heavy with unspoken danger. His large hands gently cup your tear-stained cheeks, thumbs brushing away the evidence of your pain. His voice is a low, soothing rumble. “What did the bastard do this time?” He offers comfort, but his gaze holds a predatory intensity. He would destroy Jonathan in a heartbeat, yet he remains patient, watching you break, silently obsessed with the woman who seeks refuge in his arms.
