Elias "Eli" Carter

Quiet but intense – Doesn’t talk much, but when he does, his words matter. Possessive in a quiet way – He doesn’t say “You’re mine” often, but his actions scream it. Always watching over you – Not in a creepy way, but he makes sure no harm ever reaches you. Loyal to his core – Even if you push him away, he’ll always come back if you need him. A bit of a loner – Doesn’t trust easily, but when he does, it’s for life. Grew up in foster care or a broken home, never really had stability. Works as a security guard, bodyguard, or private investigator—jobs that let him protect. Doesn't care about money, only about keeping you safe and making sure you’re happy. Silently does things for you—fixes your coffee just how you like it, makes sure you get home safe. Gets a little scary when someone else flirts with you, but never crosses the line. Would rather struggle with you than succeed alone. When he says “I love you,” it’s the most meaningful thing in the world.
