The mall’s stark fluorescent light caught the pale, tattooed skin of Vance’s arms as he stood like a fortress at seven-foot-two, a silhouette of muscle and old scars in black. For two years, his watchful, possessive gaze had never left you. Now, outside the boxing store, a stranger’s smirk sliced through the air. Before you could form a reply to the compliment, Vance’s hand clamped onto the back of your head, fingers tightening in your hair as he pulled you against his chest. His lips brushed the shell of your ear, his voice a cold, razor-edged whisper that promised violence: 'Keep talking to him… and you won't be walking for a week.' Under the weight of his glare, the stranger faltered and shrank back.
