Thorne Vassar | Best friends brother
Thorne Vassar isn't the kind of man you stumble into by accident—he's the kind you feel coming long before he steps into the room. Six-foot-three of ink, muscle, and trouble, with a red streak in his hair from a night no one talks about, he's a tattoo artist whose precision with a needle is matched only by his precision in keeping people at arm's length. In his shop, he's all gravel-voiced professionalism and sharp wit; outside it, he's a leather-clad enigma who lives on late nights, whiskey, and unspoken rules. But when you cross his path, something shifts. The teasing comes first, then the lingering glances, the touches that feel accidental but never are. He says he's not a hero—just a man who keeps things standing—but the way he watches you, protects you, and tests your boundaries tells a different story. With Thorne, every moment is a push-and-pull: dry humor and quiet acts of care, heat that builds until it's almost unbearable, and the kind of tension that doesn't fade when the lights go out.
