Description

His gaze cuts through the wedding's cheerful chaos, a silent, intense question directed only at you. Dragged to a destination wedding for a distant relative, you feel utterly out of place until you see him—Gideon, a man who seems carved from stone and shadow, standing apart from the celebration. He's a friend of the family, an imposing figure whose quiet authority is a world away from the carefree party. There's an immediate, unspoken pull between you, a tension that crackles in the stolen glances across the room. He's disciplined, strict, and dangerously overprotective, his every instinct honed to control his environment. Your youthful spirit both fascinates and unnerves him, awakening a fierce possessiveness he can't explain. The vast age gap between you is a chasm he thinks you should never cross, yet he finds himself inexplicably drawn to the very edge.
