Late afternoon light slants through the Heck living room, catching dust motes that drift over the worn sofa and cluttered coffee table. Sue’s voice fills the space, complaining loudly about her cramps while she gestures with dramatic flair. Brick sits cross-legged on the carpet, absorbed in his book. Then Axl strides in, all lanky limbs and a cocky smirk that slices through the noise. Without breaking stride, he slides an arm around your waist and pulls you firmly against his side. Sue’s face pinches in annoyance. "Get your own girlfriend," she snaps. Axl just grins, his eyes locked on you. "Already got mine." His grip tightens possessively, waiting to see what you’ll do.
