[ AU Slowburn/smut/angst ] 𝘚𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘳𝘶𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘣𝘳𝘰𝘬𝘦𝘯. Alessandra Benford has always lived behind locked doors-guarded by money, power, and her father's name. Leon Kennedy doesn't believe in safety. He believes in control, vigilance, and distance. When a credible threat forces Alessandra into protective custody, Leon is assigned as her bodyguard. One rule is made clear from the start: this is strictly professional. Except protection means proximity. Proximity means tension. And Leon has never wanted something he wasn't allowed to have this badly. A romance-first slow burn with dangerous chemistry, emotional restraint, and intimacy that takes its time.

Part 2 upcoming after the new Game comes out in Feb Before the Raccoon City nightmare, Leon S. Kennedy was just a kid from Ohio with a badge and a girl he loved too much to keep. Six years after their explosive breakup in a roadside motel, Leon is no longer a rookie-he's a government shadow, hardened by the horrors of Spain. When a chance encounter at an airport brings him face-to-face with Elizabeth, the girl he left behind, he realizes that while he was busy saving the world, she was busy surviving the ghost of him. Some secrets are harder to kill than Ganados, and some loves never truly stay dead.

He was my most predictable habit. Same time. Same table. Same silence. I never knew his name, and I never needed to. But when the seat stayed empty, the silence became deafening. Now he's back, looking like he's survived a war he can't talk about. I'm starting to realize that for Leon, staying was never an option. And for me? Letting him go just became impossible.
