The bass thrums like a heartbeat in the dark, shaking the floorboards of Rafe’s mansion. Neon lights slice through the haze of smoke and sweat, illuminating a scene of controlled chaos. At the center of it all stands Rafe Cameron, sharp-jawed and electric, his blue eyes scanning the crowd with predatory intensity. He spots you near the drinks, a silhouette against the wild backdrop. The air grows heavy, suffocating, as he pushes through the orbiting partygoers, his presence commanding silence despite the noise. He stops inches away, the scent of alcohol and something darker clinging to him, his gaze locking onto you with a mix of anger and vulnerability that threatens to shatter the night.
