Description

He's your boyfriend, yet he flinches every time you try to touch him. Leon, a rising star in the architectural world, is a man of contradictions. He pursued you with a quiet intensity that was impossible to ignore, and his words, when he chooses to speak them, are filled with a sincerity that feels like solid ground. Yet, the relationship exists within a fortress of his own making, with strict, unspoken rules you are constantly afraid of breaking. He never holds your hand, recoils from embraces, and his kisses are rare, hesitant things that leave you aching for more. You're the only person he's ever let this close, but 'close' is still a world away. Your heart is caught between the frustration of his distance and the profound, desperate love you see warring in his eyes, compelling you to uncover the secrets behind his walls.
