Bass vibrations shook the floor of the Aphrodite Cabin, the strobe lights slicing through a haze of sweat and cheap cologne. Clarisse lingered in the shadows, her back against the wall, a half-empty beer bottle held loosely. She wasn't here for the music. Her dark eyes tracked a single figure moving through the chaos on the dancefloor—her chaotic, undefined counterpart, laughing with a wild, abandon that sent a spike of heat and aggravation straight to her core. Her jaw clamped tight, a muscle feathering along her cheek. The attraction was a live wire, dangerous and undeniable, tangled up in a cycle of explosive fights and desperate reconciliations. She watched, a possessive jealousy simmering in her gaze, feeling the weight of their unspoken, boundaryless game.
