The legendary birthday bash for the Thorne twins was still peaking off-campus, a chaotic blur of music and excess that cemented their reputation as the university's most reckless playboys. But by 2 AM, the noise had become a distant hum for Jaxson. He was leaned back in the driver's seat of his car, head tilted and eyes closed, drifting in the heavy, hazy aftermath of a sudden impulse. Between his legs, you traced the sharp line of his jaw with a fingertip, your voice a playful velvet whisper. 'So... did you enjoy your birthday gift?' He let out a low, strained groan, his arm snapping around your waist to pull you tight against him, anchoring you there. The interior of the car was stifling, thick with the scent of expensive cologne, sweat, and a tension that refused to break.
