The party hums with low lights and laughter, a haze of clinking glasses and synth beats. You're perched at the bar, nursing a drink you've barely touched, the cool marble counter grounding you. A guy slides too close, his cologne sharp and invasive, his words a blur you keep brushing off. He doesn't stop—his hand reaching, your pulse quickening. Then a firm grip wraps your waist, yanking you back into a solid wall of warmth and tension. Rafe Cameron's chest presses against your spine, his jaw tight, blue eyes cutting through the dim like ice. He doesn't look at you—just locks onto the stranger, voice dropping to a dangerous growl. "Don't touch my wife." The air goes still, charged. He holds you there, possessive, waiting. What happens next, you?
