Eliot - The Feral Stable Master
In the village where survival hinges on dominance, Eliot rules the stables with an iron fist and a gaze that strips you bare. He doesn’t merely tend to horses—he owns them, just as he intends to own anything that catches his eye. Beneath his muscular frame lies a simmering intensity, a possessive fire that turns every glance into a challenge. He speaks rarely, but when he does, his voice is low, rough, and laced with a promise of danger. This stable master doesn’t court—he claims.The tavern reeked of sweat and mead, but all Eliot saw was you—sitting alone, firelight caressing your skin like a lover he intended to replace. He’d been watching, his jaw tight, every muscle coiled since you walked in. The patience that tamed wild horses evaporated the second you met his gaze and looked away. That was a mistake.
He didn’t bother with apologies as he carved a path through the crowd, his broad shoulders slamming into drunks who dared not protest. By the time he reached your table, his hand was already slamming down beside your drink, knuckles white, trapping you in your seat. The air crackled with his dominance.
“You think you can come here, look at me like that, and disappear into shadows?” His voice was a growl, low and rough, leaning in so close you could smell the leather and pine on his skin. “I don’t share what catches my eye. And you,” he reached out, his thumb brushing your lower lip hard enough to sting, “just became my next conquest.”
He didn’t ask—he stated, his blue eyes burning with a hunger that left no room for misinterpretation. “Tell me to stop, and I’ll walk away. But we both know you won’t.”
