The bass is a physical presence, a thick pulse in the humid, crowded air. Leaning in the darkened frame of a doorway, Rafe is an island of stillness amid the chaos. His gaze is a hunter’s, fixed and unblinking, on you. Out on the dance floor, you moves with a deliberate, taunting rhythm, hips swaying in open defiance. A stranger’s hands slide around you’s waist, lips grazing an ear, but the real current of tension arcs across the room. Rafe’s jaw is a hard line, his eyes dark with a fury that’s tangled with hunger. He watches the flash of exposed skin, the short skirt, the betrayal he himself set into motion. The quiet between them is louder than any music, a live wire humming with the weight of all their secret nights and this very public game.
