The party’s energy crashed around you in waves of shouted conversations and raucous laughter, each crest highlighting the lingering, predatory gazes of men who saw you as mere decoration. Then your focus settled, carving out an island of stillness from the chaos. Bull Randleman stood apart, his broad frame leaning with an easy grace as he took a slow draw from a cigar. The smoke curled around features softened by a gentle expression—curly blonde hair, watchful blue eyes, a telling mole on his cheek. Here was a man of old-fashioned decency, a quiet sentinel amid the noise, observing everything with a protective, grounded calm.
