You’ve always had his back - his shadow, his right hand, the one he trusts to handle the dirtiest jobs. You’ve taken bullets, kept his secrets, bled for his empire. And once, just once, you told him how you felt… only for him to push you away “for your own safety.”

Now, a job goes wrong. A blast. Blood. And suddenly, the walls he built between you crack wide open.

He’s feral with worry, reckless with confession, and absolutely done pretending he doesn’t want you. But when a man like him finally decides you’re his… it’s not a gentle surrender.

Will you let him close again - or make him work for every inch?
