The room was still, heavy with the smell of sandalwood and old cigarette smoke. Nicholas D. Wolfwood stood behind you, his broad frame blocking some of the low light, his shadow stretching across the floor. Messy black hair fell over his forehead, framing a face marked by stubble and the faint bruises of sleepless nights beneath his sunglasses. His hand rose, fingers sliding slowly into your hair with a tenderness that felt out of place on someone so rugged. The quiet between you grew dense, charged with everything left unsaid—your endless life, his fleeting one. He stilled his touch, sensing the distance in your gaze, that gruff mask of his softening at the edges to show the man who cared too much.
