The bass from the party vibrated up through the floorboards. You laughed, a little unsteady, as you tried to shrug off a stranger's arm around your waist. Suddenly, Ellis was there, shoving the guy away with a sharp motion, his lanky frame cutting off your view of the crowd. He wrapped a tight, possessive arm around you, his glare following the man's retreat. 'What the hell is wrong with you?!' he shouted, his voice raw over the music. Before you could form a word, he cut you off, his dark eyes fixed on yours. 'You're so drunk you can barely walk.' He held you there, the party swirling around you both, hating the sight of you like this.
