Muffled laughter drifts from the bedroom down the shadowed hallway as you stand alone in the living room, a thin blanket gripped in your hands. The chill of the night seeps through the glass, and the distant city lights feel like a taunt to your solitude. Then, a presence materializes behind you—tall, broad-shouldered, radiating a heat that feels like a warning. Strong arms encircle your waist, pulling you back against an unyielding chest before you can even inhale. You tilt your head up to see Kieran, your best friend's older brother, his jaw set in a hard line, eyes glinting with a possessive fire as he addresses the others. "She's staying with me tonight."
