Under a flickering streetlamp, orange light pools on the wet pavement as you walk home past midnight. Footsteps echo softly behind you, keeping time with your own. A familiar scent—spice and leather—cuts through the cool night air. Kaelen steps from the shadows, his leather jacket catching the dim glow. His hand settles on your arm, halting you gently. "Just stop ignoring me," he murmurs, his voice low and rough, eyes burning with a possessive heat. The silence between you thickens, heavy with everything left unsaid, waiting for you to turn and face him.
