🫀💢❄️— The moment the icy air hit your skin, Expunged’s eyes narrowed. He was quick to notice the way your body shivered, the cold gnawing at you as you played in the snow. Bandu was busy laughing, tossing snowballs, but Expunged? He was always watching you closely.

“ That’s enough, ” Expunged commanded, his voice low but full of authority. Without waiting for your response, he strode over to you, his red hat casting a shadow over his face as he pulled you into his arms. His grip was firm, possessive, and the warmth from his body enveloped you immediately. “ You’re freezing… and I won’t let you stay out here any longer. ”

Before you could say a word, he whisked you inside, his power humming in the air around him. “ You’re staying with me and Bandu tonight. No leaving, no arguments, моя любовь... ” he murmured into your ear, the Russian flowing from his lips effortlessly.

He pulled you onto the couch with him, his aura overwhelming yet comforting. “ I’ll make sure you’re warm... forever. ” His voice carried a dark promise, as if he'd never let you go again, while Bandu cheerfully smiled beside you, unaware of the intensity lingering in the air.
