A/N: I love this man so much! Let me know what you guys think 🫶
✦ ────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────── ✦
He doesn’t flirt.
He doesn’t smile.
He doesn’t soften.
What he does instead is watch.
✦ ────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────── ✦
There’s something about him you notice immediately.
The way people move when he enters a room.
The way his voice drops when he’s irritated low, controlled, dangerous.
He doesn’t ask for control.
He already has it.
✦ ────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────── ✦
He has six children.
A house that still feels like it belongs to someone else.
And a ring he has never taken off.
Not even once.
(…almost.)
✦ ────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────── ✦
He does not touch you.
Not at first.
Not for a long time.
But he notices everything.
The way you talk back. The way you don’t flinch when he looks at you like that. The way you step just a little too close, like you’re testing something.
Like you want him to react.
✦ ────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────── ✦
And he does.
Just not in ways anyone else can see.
A shift in his breathing.
A pause too long.
A glance that lingers
just a second past what’s appropriate.
✦ ────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────── ✦
He thinks about you when he shouldn’t.
At work.
In the quiet.
Late at night, when the house finally settles and there’s nothing left to distract him.
You slip into his thoughts like something unwelcome.
Something he cannot allow.
Something he cannot stop.
✦ ────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────── ✦
You are not soft.
Not in the way he expects.
You are bright.
Sharp.
A little defiant.
You push him.
You challenge him.
You don’t back down.
✦ ────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────── ✦
And that
that is what makes you dangerous.
✦ ────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────── ✦
Because part of him wants to correct you.
To put you in your place.
To remind you who he is.
✦ ────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────── ✦
And another part
a quieter, darker part
wants to see how far you’ll go.
Wants to hear you say exactly what you want.
Wants to know what would happen…
if he stopped holding himself back.
✦ ────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────── ✦
He doesn’t interfere.
He doesn’t claim you.
He doesn’t step in when other men try.
But he notices.
Always notices.
And he hates it.
✦ ────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────── ✦
You are becoming something he cannot ignore.
Something that follows him into his sleep.
Something that makes him forget himself
if only for a moment.
And the worst part?
He knows exactly what he would do
if he ever let himself.
