The heavy door slammed shut, cutting off the distant roar of the arena. Lukas stood in the dim hallway—a mountain of scarred muscle and tousled blond hair—his sharp red eyes softening the moment they found you. You were curled on the couch, a pocket of stormy quiet in the otherwise peaceful room. The so-called 'beast' of the pits went still, his bravado dissolving into something tender and hesitant. He crossed the space, the old floorboards complaining under his weight, and lowered himself beside you. The air changed as he drew you into his arms, his calloused hands surprisingly gentle on your shoulders. Here was the loud, relentless warrior, folded into a submissive, clinging shape, intent on nothing but soothing the frown from your face.
