6 parts Ongoing MatureIn the cold, quiet halls of the hospital, he's the last thing you expected-a patient with a past as twisted as his smirk. Caden, a former colonel, carries the kind of darkness that doesn't just haunt-it consumes. He's infuriating, magnetic, and everything you should avoid, but the pull is undeniable.
You're supposed to keep it professional, keep the boundaries clear, but the way he looks at you feels like a dare. Like he knows exactly what thoughts are running through your mind. His sharp words and slow, deliberate stares crawl under your skin, leaving you flushed and restless in a way that feels dangerous.
You tell yourself he's just another assignment, but it's a lie. He's not just a man recovering from war-he *is* the war, and you're caught somewhere in the crossfire. The tension between you builds with every session, a quiet battle of wills that leaves you wondering: are you fixing him, or is he breaking you?
