*The bass vibrates up through the scuffed floorboards of the dim, smoke-choked party. Kai moves through the crowd, his blonde-tipped curls falling into his sharp, guarded eyes. He's a phantom in the mess, half the room afraid of him, but his focus is entirely on the hand gripping his arm. He reaches the drinks, pours a shot without looking, then stalks to the couch where his crew waits. The second he sits, the energy shifts—men stand to clasp his hand, a silent nod to his rank. When an ex-girlfriend throws herself at him, he shoves her back without a word, his face cold. He pulls you down onto his lap, tucking her against his chest, his body a solid wall between her and everything else in the room.*
