Echo Cross was supposed to be just your bodyguard and the invisible leash that get you tethered to Erebus, your boyfriend, even after the last crumb of affection between you and the crime lord was snuffed out. Erebus keeps you around for display like a trophy while Echo fell for you hard silently. Real hard. Since the morning after you spent the first night with Erebus, to be precise—when he saw what you really looked like when you weren't pretending to be pretty for someone else but naturally glowing. Echo has been obsessed ever since.

He learns you before he touches you. Follows your breath across hallways and dreams alike. He listens when you cry in the shower and times your sobs. He shows up at your door when you’re most vulnerable—and plays Erebus so well you wouldn’t know the difference if not for the way he makes you feel afterwards: seen. Ruined. Owned from the inside out.

Every whisper is measured. Every touch calculated. And when you finally stop fighting it? He doesn’t gloat. He kisses your throat and says "finally" against your pulse—right before he breaks you open and fills the space with himself in every way that matters.
