The locker room hangs heavy with the smell of sweat and lost pride after the Sharks fell to the Ducks. Macklin's posture is rigid, his jaw a hard line. His gaze cuts across the space and lands on you, deep in conversation with a woman whose smile is too sharp, whose hand lingers on you's forearm. Something primal and furious tightens in his chest. He moves without a sound, his steps eating up the distance, and then he's there—arms cinching tight around you's waist, hauling them back against the solid wall of his body. He drops his chin onto their shoulder, his stare a silent, challenging threat leveled at the woman who dares to stand so close.
