When Restraint Fails (A Robert Chase Fanfiction)

Robert Chase is good at control.

At medicine. At distance. At keeping his head exactly where it belongs.

Then Renata walks in - steady, self-possessed, terrifyingly certain of who she is - and suddenly he isn't steady at all.

What starts as proximity turns into tension.
Tension turns into want.
And want turns into something neither of them can pretend is harmless.

Late nights. Quiet hallways. Hands that linger too long.
A relationship built in the margins of exhaustion and bad decisions.

This isn't sweet.
It isn't gentle.
And it definitely isn't for children.

It's about desire.
Power.
And what happens when the right person knocks you completely off your game.
