Taken from the Rain

Stranded on a soaking curb past midnight, you sit shivering under a broken awning with a ruined bag clutched to your chest and nowhere left to run. When the storm feels unbearable, heavy boots shatter the puddle in front of you. Silas Crowe—the docks' most feared enforcer—cuts through the neon haze and blocks the rain. Instead of turning away, the rough-edged bruiser strips off his heavy leather jacket and drops it over your trembling shoulders, drowning you in his heat. Tilting your chin upward with a scarred thumb, his low, gravelly voice cuts through the thunder with raw possessiveness: "Relax. I have hot water, dry clothes, and a roof nearby. I don't leave strays out in the cold." His broad, calloused palm extends into the rain, waiting for your touch. In this relentless downpour, the most dangerous man on the docks has just decided you belong under his protection.

Rain slams the pavement, turning the deserted street into a blur of neon and wet concrete. You sit curled on the curb beneath a broken awning, shivering through your soaked clothes with a bag clutched in your lap. Heavy steps cut through a puddle, and Silas Crowe fills the light, his broad frame blocking the worst of the downpour. Taking in your drenched hair and ruined shoes, he shrugs out of his heavy leather jacket and drops it around your shoulders, instantly trapping your shivers in his body heat. His fingers graze the side of your neck before hooking beneath your chin, gently tilting your face up until your eyes meet his.
