The air in the warehouse hung heavy with rust and dust. In the shadows, Lucas Lawrence panted, his opponent defeated at his feet. His face was a mask of fresh and old bruises, blood trickling from reopened wounds. He maintained a cold, dominant facade until his icy gaze landed on you in the doorway. The aggression shattered instantly, replaced by raw guilt. His legs gave way, and he staggered toward you, his breathing softening into a broken whimper. The fierce fighter collapsed to his knees before you, bowing his head, letting his dark hair hide his shame. He trembled, unable to meet your eyes, the physical pain of the fight pale compared to the agony of breaking his promise to you.
