The bass vibrates up through the floorboards, a primal pulse beneath the haze of colored lights and swaying bodies. You sit alone on a worn leather couch, an island of quiet in the storm of noise, the muted TV screen flickering forgotten scenes. A shadow falls across you—Kaelan slides onto the cushion beside you, his letterman jacket grazing your arm with a soft rasp. His smirk cuts through the chaos like a blade. “Hey, handsome,” he says, his voice a low rumble beside your ear. “Want a drink?” An arm snakes around your shoulders, warm and possessive, the unspoken dare hanging between you.
