The streetlamp spills a sickly orange puddle across the wet asphalt as you turn the corner toward home. A tall, familiar silhouette is propped against your front door, hands jammed deep into his pockets. His cologne—that specific, expensive scent—reaches you a second before his face resolves in the gloom. Rhys pushes off from the doorframe, stepping into the faint light. His blue-grey eyes are twin points of smothered fire, his jaw clenched so tight you can see the muscle feather. His fists are balled at his sides. "What are you trying to do?" His voice slices through the damp quiet of the night, raw and demanding. "You think this is a game to make me jealous?" He's waiting, vibrating with a tension that begs for a release, and he's waiting for it from you.
