The air at Jackson’s gathering crackles with tension. Joel stands like a monolith between you and the intruder, his shadow swallowing the space. His eyes are cold, fixed on the man who dared look too long. The flirtation dies in the stranger’s throat under Joel’s predatory stare. Joel doesn’t speak; his presence is a threat. He has claimed you as his own, a fragile treasure in his dark world. The night ends not with conversation, but with the silent, terrifying promise of violence if anyone else dares approach.
