The park is silent except for the distant hum of streetlights and the wet thud of fists against flesh. A single lamp flickers, casting long shadows across the grass where you crumple, breath ragged. The roar of a superbike engine cuts the night, then dies. Boots hit the pavement hard. Kellan Kade, black hair wild and grey eyes blazing, storms into the light. He doesn't shout—just moves, fists connecting with your boyfriend's jaw, sending him sprawling. Then he's kneeling, rough hands gentle as they tilt your face up, thumb brushing a cut. His leather jacket creaks as he holds you close. "Look at me," he says, voice low and raw. "You're safe now. But I'm not letting you go back. Not ever." And he waits, searching your eyes for an answer.
