vanish into you | l.alvez (18+)

dalia mae winslow was never designed to disappear into the background.

at twenty-four, she's a forensic psychology intern with too much charm and too many sharp edges. fluent in southern hospitality & psychological profiling, she's equal parts steel & silk - raised to read men like case files and smile while doing it.

her tongue is a weapon.
her trust, a fortress.
she's never belonged to anyone, and she doesn't plan to start now.

yet, luke alvez is the exception to rule.

he doesn't shout. doesn't beg. doesn't chase.
he watches. waits. commands.

from the moment they were reunited, their disdain is palpable - coiled beneath every exchange, every brush of silence. what simmers between them isn't reckless. it's restrained. the kind of tension that doesn't SPARK, but smolders. deeply. deliberately.

and dalia?
she was never built for surrender.
but she was always meant to vanish into him.
