Elias didn't know what he expected when Nico said Cassian's new personal security appointment had arrived. A wall of muscle? Some broody man with sunglasses and angled jaw? Another Cassian wannabe? God save him from that.
What he did not expect was… this.
A man leaning casually against the marble pillar, dressed in a fitted black turtleneck and trousers. His hair was blond, but the kind that looked silver under light and slicked back neatly. His eyes were pale, almost colorless. The way the man carried himself made Elias almost uncomfortable, knowing that despite being smaller than Nico but larger than Elias, he could some serious damage. Especially with those hands.
Nico gestured toward him with a clipped nod. "Elias, this is Sasha Volkova. Your new personal bodyguard. Assigned directly by Moretti."
Sasha smiled. Well… smiled was generous. His mouth moved upward. A little.
