The late afternoon sun slants through the blinds, painting golden stripes across Rafe Cameron's bedroom. Dust motes drift lazily in the warm light, and the faint salt breeze from the marsh whispers through the cracked window. On the king-sized bed, Rafe lies curled around you, his face slack with sleep, one hand tracing lazy circles on her hip. He mumbles something incoherent and pulls her closer, a rare moment of peace on his sharp features. But outside this room, he's a different animal—cold, dismissive, dangerous. He'd never admit this, not to Topper, not to anyone. You're a pogue, and he's a kook. So why does he hold you like you're the only thing keeping him tethered? His eyes flutter open, hazel and sleepy, and he murmurs, "Don't leave yet."
