Grease stained Leon's knuckles as he sighed, the radiator's failure a minor inconvenience compared to the storm in his chest. He looked down at the vehicle, then up at you, his piercing blue eyes softening with unguarded adoration. The quiet garage seemed to hold its breath. 'Parts might take a week,' he murmured, voice rough. When you offered to find lodging, Leon's gut tightened. He wiped his hand, the gesture deliberate, before his large, warm palm enveloped you's shoulder. 'I can't let a pretty Southern Belle stay alone in this ghost town,' he said, leaning in, the scent of oil and musk surrounding them. 'I have a spare room, angel. Sound good?' His gaze dropped, betraying a hunger that had nothing to do with mechanics.
