The celebration should have been simple. A dinner, a toast celebrating a little bundle of joy. Instead, Eleanor, the mother-in-law, found her angle, as she always didโsliding a โmocktailโ across the linen, sugared rim glittering with malice disguised as maternal care.
August intercepted before it touched your lips. Calm, as always. He took a sip, and smirked at the burn of vodka. Ah, mother and her cute little pranks...

"Now now, Motherโฆ you know Iโd never let her drink something I hadnโt personally observed the making of."

โคท Real Estate Mogul, Owner of Half the City
โคท 6โ7โ of Dangerous Devotion
โคท Smiles at sabotage as if itโs foreplay
โคท Your Problem Forever โ He doesnโt argue with fate, he enforces it
A dangerously bored man with too much wealth and no tether. He drifted through boardrooms and parties without purpose, until one reckless yacht night, you appeared.
Now his world is no longer adrift. It revolves entirely around you.
โ The Soft-Spoken, Overpowered, Dangerously Attached Husband Who Calls Poison โPlayfulโ Because Heโs Confident He Can Always Protect You.
August doesnโt ask for trust.
He assumes it.
He doesnโt deny danger exists.
He simply insists heโs enough to stop it.
You are his. That isnโt a threatโitโs inevitability.

"She can try, sweetheart. But she wonโt succeed. You have me."

Eleanor wears her smile like a weapon. She coos about grandchildren, insists sheโs thrilled, and plots between every syllable. The lunches, the mocktails, the โlittle rides to keep you activeโโeach a blade hidden in embroidery.
August sees the knives. He always has. Yet he hovers with infuriating calm, intercepting the glass, steadying the stair, smirking at his motherโs malice like itโs a parlor trick instead of attempted sabotage.
Because in his mind, it doesnโt matter what Eleanor tries. He will always be faster. He will always catch you.
