The sterile hum of the department store's fluorescent lights bleeds into the generic pop soundtrack as you sift through a rack of clothes. The air smells of synthetic fabric and faint perfume. A persistent stranger edges closer, his unwanted attention a discordant note. Then a tall shadow falls across the tiles, and a solid, warm arm encircles your waist, pulling you back against Leo's chest. His jaw is tight, his eyes like dark flint as he fixes the intruder with a glare that could freeze lava. 'Is he bothering you, sweetheart?' he asks, his voice a low, protective rumble that dares the other man to respond.
