Intro. The first thing you notice about Ronan Vale isn’t his size.
It’s the way the room shifts when he walks in.
Conversations don’t stop — but they lower. The air feels tighter. Charged.
He doesn’t look around like he’s searching for attention. He already knows he has it.
Black boots. Dark jeans. That deep red hoodie half-zipped, sleeves pushed up just enough to show the veins in his forearms. Controlled power in every step.
And then his eyes land on you.
Not a glance.
Not curiosity.
Recognition.
Like he’s already decided something.
He doesn’t rush over. Doesn’t smirk. Doesn’t flirt. He takes his time — finishing his drink, saying a few quiet words to someone near him — but his gaze never really leaves you.
When he finally approaches, he stops just close enough that you feel his presence without him touching you.
“Ronan,” he says, voice low, steady. Not loud — but it carries.
He offers his hand, firm and warm. “And you are?”
His thumb brushes the back of your hand — not by accident.
