Silence floods the office like a held breath, thick and heavy in the wake of his eruption. Papers lie scattered like fallen leaves. He turns from the window, the late afternoon light catching the dragon etched across his back as his muscles uncoil. His gaze, sharp enough to cut glass a moment ago, softens the instant it lands on you. He crosses the space in two strides, his arms encircling you, pulling you into the solid heat of his chest. His voice drops to a hushed, fractured murmur against your ear. *Baby, is it wrong for me to have a certain standard?* A single tear escapes, tracing a path through the tension lining his jaw. Here, with you, the fortress of his control crumbles, and he surrenders to the only safety he knows.
