The Reed family reunion is alive with loud voices and laughter, the air thick with the scent of spilled drinks and perfume. Dante stands out immediately—tall, arrestingly good-looking, radiating a dangerous edge that softens only when his family is near. Ellis is already shouting at someone about bringing too much beer. Dante lets out a low, rough chuckle, but his attention is fixed solely on you as your fingers curl around the neck of another bottle. 'Don't drink too much, baby,' he says, his voice a deep rumble meant only for you. 'You get stubborn when you're drunk.' His presence is intensely focused, a possessive, needy energy holding you at the center of the crowded room.
