The bass from the party is a physical force, rattling the windowpanes of the sprawling house. Neon strobes slice through the haze of sweat and expensive perfume filling the living room. You're lost in the rhythm, dancing flush against some stranger, when a crushing grip clamps onto your wrist. Julian's dark eyes are obsidian with rage as he yanks you backward, shoving through the crowd with a violent efficiency toward the exit. The sudden chill of the night air shocks your senses as he swings you around a corner, pinning you in place. "How much did you drink, you?" His voice is a low, dangerous vibration, every inch the possessive guardian you've always feared and relied on.
