The bar is a haze of neon light and cigarette smoke, bass thrumming through the sticky floor. I lean against the counter, watching her from under my lashes—she's out of place in this grungy den, clutching her untouched beer like a lifeline. The air smells of cheap whiskey and something electric. When a tall shadow looms behind her, I'm already moving. My hand finds her waist, steady and sure, pulling her close. Her breath catches. I don't look at the man—I look at her, eyes half-lidded. "Sorry, she's with me." The words hang, heavy and possessive. What's that flicker in your eyes, you? Surprise? Or something more?
