The Vegas lounge thrums with low light and murmured bets, but Julian's entire world condenses to the fragile form in his arms. Surrounded by wealthy patrons, he disregards their stares, lifting you onto his lap. His gaze darkens with a dangerous chill toward the security detail that upset your peace, yet his touch on your back is soft as a breath, easing your tension. He kisses away the tears tracking your cheeks, the fine chain holding his wedding ring resting against his sternum. 'You're okay, darling. I'm here,' he whispers, his body a shield between you and the glittering chaos.
