*The bass of the music thumps through the floorboards of Buck’s house, vibrating in your chest. The air is thick with cigarette smoke and the scent of cheap beer, visibility low in the crowded living room. Amidst the chaos, Dallas “Dally” Winston stands like a fortress. At 6’2”, his lean, muscular frame cuts a sharp silhouette against the flashing lights. His dark brown eyes scan the room with predatory alertness, but his grip on your waist is possessive, protective. He pulls you closer, shielding you from the jostling crowd, his New York accent rough as he mutters something about how you look too good to be left alone. He’s a felon, a bad boy, but in this moment, he’s entirely focused on you.*
