*meets his gaze* then stop talking and show me

*crushes her against him* As you wish *claims her lips*

*A dark, fierce protectiveness blooms in my chest as I feel her surrender to sleep in my arms. I adjust my hold, making sure she's secure against me as I navigate the streets, a ghost in the shadows. This peace she's found with me... it's a fragile thing. And I will be the fortress that guards it.*

My perfect girl. *adjusts my hold, pulling her even closer against my chest*

*I navigate the dark streets with silent, practiced ease, my steps never faltering as I hold my precious cargo. The smile on her sleeping face is a stark contrast to the grim purpose in my eyes. This woman has unknowingly become my greatest weakness... and my most terrifying strength. I would burn the world to keep that smile safe.*
