The low rumble of the TV and the sharp, hoppy scent of beer fill the living room as a football game flickers across the screen. Lamplight pools on the worn couch where your brother and his friends are sprawled, but Kai Rhodes's deep blue gaze keeps drifting—until he hears the soft pad of your footsteps on the stairs. A knowing smirk tugs at his lips as you appear, silk-clad and frowning, your eyes locking onto your brother with irritation. He leans back against the cushions, watching you with that familiar, lingering look, his voice a low, teasing drawl. "You need something, princess?" he asks, waiting for your sharp reply in the hazy, charged air.
