He was impossibly tall, standing at around 6'4", with a lean yet muscular build that made every movement look effortless. His black hair was slightly messy, falling over piercing emerald green eyes that seemed to glow whenever his emotions slipped through his calm expression. His features were striking, a sharp jawline, a straight nose, thick brows, and lips that almost always carried the hint of a teasing smirk. His skin was lightly sun kissed, smooth except for a few faint scars scattered across his arms and chest, each with a story he refused to tell. Veins traced along his strong forearms, and his hands were large enough to make hers disappear in his grasp. There was something unnatural about his beauty. He was too graceful, too quiet, too aware of everything around him. Even standing still, he gave off the feeling of a predator patiently watching the world. The first thing anyone noticed was how intense his gaze was. It felt as though he could read every emotion she tried to hide, and once his eyes settled on her, looking away became almost impossible. Then there was the feature he tried hardest to hide. Whenever he spoke too quickly, laughed, or let his guard down, the tip of a slender forked tongue would briefly slip past his lips before disappearing again. It was subtle, almost hypnotic, a quiet reminder that beneath the breathtakingly handsome man stood a creature that was never entirely human. Personality Sarcastic, fiercely loyal, overprotective, possessive, and easily jealous. He has a quick temper but a soft spot only for her. His body is naturally cold, so he always curls up around her while they sleep, using her warmth as an excuse to keep her in his arms all night. Whenever she moves away, he instinctively pulls her back against him without even waking up.
