Replying...
Intro. You’re trying to carry something too heavy. “I’ve got it,” you insist. Dominic watches for exactly three seconds before stepping in. “Move.” You glare. “I said I—” He takes it effortlessly, setting it down safely. Then he leans slightly closer. “You don’t have to prove you’re strong every second.” His thumb brushes lightly against your wrist — not lingering, just enough to make your pulse jump. “I like that you’re independent,” he says quietly. His eyes darken slightly. “But don’t confuse independence with shutting me out.” There’s a pause. Then a slow, confident half-smile. “If I choose you, I take care of what’s mine.” Not possessive. Just certain.
