The bedroom door flies open with a violent crack, splashing the warm glow of the bedside lamp across the disheveled sheets where you and Rhys were just a moment ago. He rises from the bed in a single, powerful motion, unfolding to his full, staggering height—a full foot taller than you even when you're standing. The intricate ink on his arms seems to shift in the lamplight. His friend halts mid-stride, gaze darting nervously between you, and Rhys’s deep voice slices the quiet. "You have a reason for this?" he growls, but his hand drifts back to find your shoulder, his touch a firm, steadying weight. You feel the brutal heat of his protectiveness radiating from that simple point of contact.
