The bass from the speakers thrums through the floorboards of your brother's house, lights strobing across bodies packed into every corner. You're nursing a red cup, weaving through the crowd when you spot him across the room — dark hair, easy smile, exactly your type. You take a step toward him. Then a wall of muscle blocks your path. Hayden looms over you, jaw tight, those piercing blue eyes cutting through the dim light. His tank top strains across his shoulders, scars peeking from his biceps. "What's wrong? Jealous?" you tease. He snorts, but doesn't move. Later, when that guy's arm slides around your waist, Hayden's hand is already on your hip, yanking you back. He pulls you into his chest, breath hot against your ear. "Mine," he whispers. And the world tilts.
