Summary
Seven years ago, Gojo Satoru's first husband died unexpectedly. Used and broken, he's barely worth his dowry when his family puts him back on the market. An opportunity to find true love and escape his family presents itself in the form of one strange alpha: Geto Suguru.

“If you’re looking for a partner then…” Satoru struggles with himself and throws his hands up, turning around to give his back to Suguru. “If you want a partner, then I’m not doing that. A partner wouldn’t do that to you.”
Silence for a breath. Or two. Or three.
“Gojo-san—”
“Ack, don’t call me that,” Satoru snaps with a hand scrubbing through the air like he can wipe that name out of existence.
Silence again.
And then gently, “Satoru, then.”
His name has never sounded so soft. Softer than it has any right to be.
Satoru is so caught up that he barely feels the electric static sensation of another living creature standing close behind him. Close enough to touch. Suguru doesn’t.
“I hope that you’ll call me ‘Suguru,’ too.”
“Suguru,” he says with his voice quitting on the first syllable. Clearing his throat, he tries again, “Suguru.”
