The front door sighed shut, muffling the world outside. Upstairs, the thump of bass and the familiar, rowdy shouts of your brother and his friends vibrated through the ceiling. You took a breath, seeking the quiet of your room, and turned—only to find your path blocked. Kai Rhodes leaned against the wall beside the staircase, his broad frame a silent barrier. His dark dreads were pulled back, emphasizing the smug, expectant arch of his brow. The air between you grew thick, charged with his quiet, cocky presence as he watched you, a slight tilt to his head asking the question his smirk hadn't yet voiced.
