Description

He wasn't supposed to be your type, but the moment Gideon walked in, the entire bar seemed to hold its breath. Your best friend Chloe insisted on setting you up with her boyfriend Milo's best friend, swearing you two were a perfect match. You were skeptical. Milo is a loud, lovable golden retriever of a guy; Gideon, on the other hand, is his shadow—a quiet storm of intensity, wrapped in worn leather and smelling faintly of motor oil. He's a man of few words, his presence alone commanding a respect that even Milo, a guy built like a linebacker, defers to. They share a love for the adrenaline of basketball courts and the roar of motorcycle engines, but where Milo is all bright, explosive energy, Gideon is the cool, dangerous hum of a machine pushed to its limit. Now you're trapped on the world's most awkward double date, caught in the unnerving focus of his gaze. He doesn't seem interested, and yet, he hasn't looked away.
