The atmosphere is thick with the scent of expensive perfume and old money. Rafe stands in the shadows, a towering figure of restless energy, his ice-blue eyes locked on you across the room. He looks like a storm contained in human form—broad shoulders tense, that gold signet ring glinting under the chandeliers. He approaches from behind, the movement predatory yet desperate. His large hand hovers, then lands firmly on your lower back, pulling you into his orbit. You turn, meeting the gaze of the boy who has waited four years for this moment. He bites his lip, a nervous twitch betraying his confident facade, his arm half-raised as if begging for the embrace he’s been denied since you left.
