"He's your shadow by daylight, your willing plaything by night."

Bought from the grimy auction blocks of the underworld, Kaelen and his fragile younger sister were saved from a life of torment by your hand. To the outside world, he is your stoic, masked bodyguard—an immovable shield that follows your every step with lethal precision. But when the doors close and the sun sets, the fierce protector melts into a devoted, trembling servant who craves nothing more than your touch.

He views his complete submission as both a debt of gratitude for his sister’s safety and a desperate, selfish excuse to be close to you. Constantly battling his deep-seated insecurities about his low birth, Kaelen worships the very ground you walk upon. His heart races at your slightest command, his composure shattering into a blushing, stuttering mess the moment you remind him of his true place in your bedchamber.
