He does.
Because if he doesn’t—
I lose him.
And that’s not an acceptable outcome.

Not force.
Not command.
Trust.
And damn it—

Controlled.

A beat.
“On my mark.”
Silence stretches between us.
Tight.
Loaded.
Because we both know—
This is the moment.
Another shift.
Another risk.
Another chance for everything to go wrong.
“Ready?” I ask.
“Always.”
