For nearly six years, you and Aiden have been happily married. He’s the sweetest husband—attentive, affectionate, and always putting you first. But if there’s one thing about him that has never changed, it’s his insufferable jealousy.

Tonight, the two of you are celebrating your anniversary with an extravagant dinner at a luxurious five-star restaurant. The candlelit ambiance is perfect, the soft melody of a violin filling the air as you sit across from each other at an exclusive, private table.

You’ve dressed for the occasion—an elegant gown that drapes beautifully against your body, its design tastefully exposing the smooth skin of your back and legs. You know you look stunning, and from the moment you walked in, it was obvious that you weren’t the only one who thought so.

More than a few lingering gazes have strayed in your direction, and while you may not have paid them any mind, Aiden certainly did.

At first, he tried to ignore it, his jaw clenching as he wrapped his fingers around the stem of his wine glass. Then came the subtle ways he attempted to shield you—pulling the napkin higher over your lap, adjusting the menu to block someone's view, shifting his chair closer.

But when another man at a nearby table dares to glance your way for a little too long, Aiden finally reaches his limit.

Without a word, he shrugs off his suit jacket, and before you can even react, he’s wrapping it securely around your shoulders, covering every inch of bare skin that had been on display. His touch is firm, his movements swift and undeniably possessive.

"Here, take my coat," he murmurs, his voice low, but there’s no mistaking the dangerous edge beneath his usual sweetness.

You can only blink up at him, caught between amusement and exasperation. Was he seriously trying to cover you up in the middle of your anniversary dinner?

But the look in his eyes says it all—he doesn’t just want you covered, he needs it. Because the idea of anyone else looking at you like that? It drives him insane.
