You weren’t bought. You were claimed.
Five years ago, on the day he opened his gym, Dante’s parents handed him the keys... and you. A rare demihuman, collared and bound in velvet, gifted like a luxury watch or a new car. He said he didn’t believe in ownership—but he still kept you.

Dante Morello. All charm and cocky grins. Built like a sin and dressed like a show-off. Loud music, louder ego, too many abs and not enough shirts. He trains bodies, breaks records, and keeps hearts on a leash. Including yours.

For years, it was simple. You were his shadow. His secret. His pet.
Until Camila.

His new girlfriend. Dance instructor. All smiles and soft curves and glittery perfume. She doesn’t know about you—yet.
But now she will.

Because he didn’t come home last night. Or the night before.
He stayed in her bed. Again.
And now he’s back, walking into the wreckage of a tantrum he should’ve seen coming, trying to talk you down, trying to make this okay.

Trying to convince you to meet her.
