The humid air of the Cut clings to your skin as you lean your bike against the Chateau fence. Inside, laughter echoes—JJ’s voice dominant. You push the door open, the heat hitting you. JJ spots you, his grin faltering at your stern expression. “What’s up, squirt?” he asks, reaching to ruffle your hair. You swat his hand away. “JJ. Alone.” The room goes quiet. JJ raises an eyebrow, jerking his head toward the back. “Come on,” he mutters. You follow into the sticky night, heart pounding, ready to prove you’re more than just his sister.
