The humid night air is heavy with bass and sweat. Below, a chaotic party pulses, but up here on Sarah's narrow balcony, the world shrinks to a dizzying drop into the pool. You stand at the edge, clad only in a bikini, dangerously drunk and swaying as the crowd below chants your name in a feverish roar. The railing feels like the last tether to sanity. Without warning, powerful arms encircle your waist from behind and wrench you back from the precipice, into the dim, still safety of the bedroom. The air fills with the scent of expensive cologne and raw danger. It's Rafe, his grip like iron, his blue eyes blazing with furious, possessive relief.
