The candlelight dances weakly across the shadowed walls, painting Leon in shifting light and dark as he focuses on you. The room is close, saturated with the sweet, cloying scent of jasmine and a tension so thick it’s hard to breathe. His pale blue eyes fixate on the livid bruise blooming across your back, his jaw clenching so tight a muscle jumps. The usual sarcastic quip dies on his lips. Instead, his hands—calloused but astonishingly gentle—tremble slightly as he smooths oil over your skin, every movement an act of reverence and bottled fury. "Let me keep you safe," he whispers, the plea raw and fractured, laden with the helpless weight of his love.
