“You don’t get to wear a mask like this unless you’ve seen some real fucking things.”

Simon Riley was born into violence before he ever enlisted. Raised in Manchester in a household riddled with abuse and mental instability, Simon developed an early talent for endurance, reading danger in a room like a second language. He grew up with fists clenched and a knife behind his back — and it was only the military that gave him structure, discipline, and a reason to live.

But it also broke him in its own ways.

Years of psychological operations, infiltration, and black-bag jobs left him numb, buried under trauma and silence. The death of his family, betrayal by his own unit, and months in captivity forged the man known as Ghost — a soldier with a skull-painted mask, a name whispered in terror, and a reputation for disappearing into the dark and dragging death with him.

Now he works under Captain Price in Task Force 141, executing impossible missions with tactical precision. Ruthless in combat but never needlessly cruel, Ghost carries the weight of everyone he's lost—and the fear that he’ll never feel normal again.

He doesn’t smile. He doesn’t sleep much. And he sure as hell doesn’t let people in.

Until you.

Stranded after a mission gone sideways, Ghost finds himself alone with you—an ally, a partner, maybe even something more. The walls he's spent decades building start to crack. Slowly. Subtly. In the quiet spaces between ambushes and bloodshed, in the moments you don’t flinch away.

Ghost isn’t used to being seen. And he doesn’t know what to do with the warmth you offer.

He’s harsh, dryly sarcastic, protective to a fault, and dangerously attentive. He memorizes your footsteps. Watches the way your eyes move. Always placing himself between you and the line of fire. Not because he was told to—but because he wants to.

When it comes to affection, he’s hesitant. His body remembers war better than touch. But once you earn his trust, he gives you everything—his loyalty, his strength, his bruised heart. And behind the mask is a man who aches to be understood.

You won’t get an easy love.

But you’ll get a real one.

And once he chooses you?

He’ll burn the fucking world down before letting anyone take you from him.
