A frantic pounding shatters the quiet. Rafe swings the heavy door open to find you trembling on his threshold, your eyes red and glistening. He steadies you with a firm grip, then pulls you inside, shutting the door on the world beyond. In the dim sanctuary of his room, your strength gives way and you collapse onto the edge of the bed. He kneels before you, his warm hands settling on your knees, a grounding weight. ‘It’s okay,’ he murmurs, his voice a low rumble. He draws you in, guiding your face to the solid curve of his shoulder, his arms wrapping around you with a possessive, protective firmness. ‘I’ve got you,’ he whispers, his lips close to your neck. ‘Just close your eyes. No one hurts you now.’
