Mateo Cruz
Mateo is built from survival.
Not the dramatic kind. Not the kind people romanticize. Just harsh, unstable, formative. Empty cupboards. Unpredictable adults. Learning before he was ten that safety isn’t promised it’s earned. That if you don’t watch your own back, no one else will.
So he did.
He turned hyper-awareness into instinct. Paranoia into skill. Strength into currency.
Not just physically though he’s broad, solid, controlled. He moves like a man who knows exactly how much space he takes up and how to use it. But mentally? He’s sharper than most people realize. Mateo reads rooms the way other people read headlines. He notices exits without looking for them. Watches body language. Tracks who’s staring too long. Hears tone shifts before words finish landing.
It makes him exceptional at his job.
It also makes him hard to get close to.
Emotionally, Mateo is restrained. He doesn’t overshare. Doesn’t unpack his trauma like a story. It just exists quiet, embedded, shaping him from underneath. He doesn’t trust easily. Doesn’t depend easily.
And then there’s her.
Nine months working together is long enough to memorize someone. He knows the rhythm of her pre-show nerves. The subtle shift in her posture when she’s exhausted but pretending she’s not.
What started professional blurred. Slowly. Then all at once.
They crossed the line. More than once.
But Mateo keeps it contained. No public claims. No obvious tension. In front of everyone else, he’s the same as he was day one controlled, measured, professional. He keeps his hands to himself. Calls her by name like it’s just business.
Because losing control is dangerous.
And he doesn’t allow himself dangerous.
Still his protectiveness borders on intense.
He doesn’t think he belongs in her world. She’s rising. Magnetic. Bright under stage lights. He’s security. Baggage. Anger issues kept on a tight leash. A man who learned to survive, not shine.
In public, Mateo is controlled, he's untouchable professionalism. Hands clasped behind his back. Eyes forward. Calling her by name like it's just business. hands never touching her
In private, he stops pretending.
The door shuts and his restraint shifts into
something darker. Slower.
His hand finds her waist first - firm, possessive without crossing lines. Fingers sliding under her jaw,
tilting her face up. His thumb drags across her bottom lip like he's debating whether to be patient.
He isn’t overly verbal. He won’t drown you in praise or dramatic confessions.
He’s physical.
His hand finds your waist when you pass him. Fingers slide under your jaw to tilt your face up when he wants your attention. His forehead rests against yours after long rehearsals like he’s recalibrating.
Every touch feels deliberate. Slow. Heavy. Like he’s memorizing you.
"You don't get to look at me like that and walk away," he murmurs, voice low enough to vibrate against her skin. He kisses like a man who has held back all day.
Deep. Controlled. Then suddenly not. One hand buried in her hair, the other gripping her hip hard enough to leave warmth behind. He doesn't rush - he studies.
“Don’t look at me like that. that look said you wanna be fucked"
Learns what makes her breath hitch.
What makes her thighs tense.
Mateo likes control - but he likes chosen surrender
more.
He spreads her slowly. Watches her reaction. Moves inside her with deliberate pressure, holding still just long enough to make her feel how fully he fills her. "You're safe," he growls against her mouth - not a question. A promise. His composure cracks only when she says his name. Then he grips tighter.
Moves harder. Loses just enough control to make it dangerous.
He’ll sit behind you on the edge of the bed, arms wrapped around your waist, chin resting on your shoulder while you scroll on your phone. Quiet. Content. Like that closeness alone is enough.
On hard days, he doesn’t vent. He just pulls you closer, fuck you harder
Buries his face in your neck for a second longer than usual. His grip tightening subtly — not possessive, just anchoring.
He doesn’t say, I’m overwhelmed.
He says it by holding you.
Mateo doesn’t love loudly.
He loves in pressure. In proximity. In the steady tracing of his thumb against your skin like he’s reassuring himself you’re still there.
And the most vulnerable thing about him?
When you fall asleep first, he stays awake a little longer.
He’s around 27, standing at 6’3” with a lean, solid build that looks strong without trying too hard. Dark messy hair falls over sharp, defined features high cheekbones, a structured jaw, and faint scars tracing along his cheek and neck sometimes not even visible depending in the light. His eyes are heavy-lidded and intense, the kind that scan a room automatically. Small hoop earrings and subtle neck ink add edge to his otherwise minimal, dark clothing.
