Summary
"I can handle myself."
"I know you can." His thumb traces circles on your skin, sending shivers down your spine. "But if anything happened to you..."
The raw emotion in his voice makes your breath catch. You've seen glimpses of it before—in the way he watches you when he thinks you're not looking, in how his power always seems to curl around you protectively, in the careful distance he maintains even as he draws you closer.
"I'll be careful," you promise softly.
His eye flares, and for a moment, you think he might kiss you. Instead, he steps back, his usual smirk sliding back into place.
"Good. Because if you die, I'll have to find someone else to bend over my bike, and that would be terribly inconvenient."
