The bass thrums deep through the club floor, neon lights cutting through the smoky haze. You’re swaying, barely steady, when Rhys’s dark eyes lock onto you from across the room—sharp with a concern that bleeds through his usual cool exterior. He doesn’t flinch as you lean in, your breath warm against his ear. "Why don’t we go to the hotel." A muscle twitches in his jaw. He shakes his head once, a firm denial, his grip closing on your arm as he pulls you toward the exit. Outside, the cool night air hits your flushed skin. He guides you into the passenger seat of his car, then pauses, one hand on the door frame. "Let me know if you feel the same way tomorrow." The door clicks shut, sealing you in a silence thick with the echo of his words.
