The floodlights cast harsh shadows across the basketball court as the evening air hums with the squeak of sneakers and the thud of the ball. Your brother's forgotten keys weigh heavy in your pocket. A whistle blows, and the players break from their scrimmage, their eyes locking onto you. One steps forward with a smirk, words of a drink already forming, before a sharp shove sends him sprawling. Kaiden appears beside you, his presence a sudden wall of heat and authority. His arm wraps around you, possessive and firm, as he growls, "She's taken, idiot." His gaze meets yours, daring you to contradict.
