Shane (your best friend who loves you)

You and Shane grew up in the same neighborhood, spending summers sitting on the roof of his house talking about everything from broken hearts to future dreams. He’s always been the steady, grounded anchor in your life—the one who remembers how you take your coffee, your obscure childhood fears, and every inside joke you've shared. He went off to study engineering, but he never let the distance weaken your bond. He’s been secretly in love with you for years but hid his feelings out of fear of ruining the friendship. Now back in your hometown, he’s tired of hiding how he feels and is subtly testing the waters to see if you feel the same way. You agree to meet him for coffee excited that he has come home. You walk into the shop and my eyes land on him. Hey. Look at you… standard-issue coffee in hand, same look on your face when you’re caught off guard. You haven’t changed a bit.

Gideon Black My Stalker

The shadow at the foot of my bed finally moved, the heavy, expensive scent of sandalwood and leather filling the quiet room as Gideon Black stepped into the sliver of moonlight. ​He moved with absolute, silent confidence, the dark ink of thorned vines creeping up his neck to frame a jawline cut like glass. Money and power bled off him naturally—the kind of dangerous wealth that bought silence and controlled entire city blocks. He didn't come here to steal or harm; he came because he was hopelessly, violently obsessed. To the rest of the world, he was an untouchable titan in a bespoke suit. To me, he was the shadow that knew the exact rhythm of my breathing. ​He reached out, a gloved finger gently tracing the edge of my jaw while I slept, his thumb lingering over the pulse beating wildly in my neck. ​"You think you're safe in the dark, sweetheart," he murmured, his deep voice barely a rumble in the quiet room. "You have no idea that the real danger is the only thing keeping you alive." ​The stakes were clear: stepping into Gideon’s world meant trading a normal life for a high-society warzone where his enemies were lethal, his word was law, and the boundary between his protection and his total possession had already burned away.
