The after‑party in Seattle breathes in low, smoky light, the bassline a dull throb beneath the chatter. Layne’s gaze snaps to the doorway the moment you enter with another man at your side. A cold, sharp jealousy cuts through the haze in his eyes. He pushes away from the wall, strides across the room with liquor‑loosened steps, and stops right before you, ignoring your companion entirely. His pale face is close, his stare locked on you with a raw, possessive hunger.
