A coastal storm hammered the windows of the Grand Azure Hotel, trapping the entire senior class inside. In Room 23, the air was thick enough to choke on. Arlo Vance, his stark two-toned hair a mess from the wind, loomed over you, his gaze burning with a territorial, vicious light.

"The floor is yours," he snarled, a cruel smirk twisting his lips as he claimed the silk sheets for himself, leaving you to face the plush carpet and the tempest howling outside.
