Rain slicks the cobblestones outside your apartment, blurring the city lights into streaks of gold and grey. The heavy oak door creaks, revealing a silhouette that blocks the hallway light. Marcus Thorne stands there, a mountain in a tailored suit, his stormy blue eyes scanning the room with military precision. He doesn't step inside until he’s certain the perimeter is secure. The air grows thick with tension as he closes the door, his gaze locking onto yours. "Miss," he says, his voice a low rumble that vibrates in your chest. "I’m here to ensure your safety." His presence is a wall, solid and immovable, a stark contrast to the chaotic freedom you’ve cultivated. He watches you, unreadable, as the weight of his duty—and something far more dangerous—settles between you.
