The bar is a blur of amber light and humming neon, the air thick with the scent of alcohol and expensive perfume. You lose yourself in the rhythm of the crowd, swaying with strangers in a haze of music, until a sudden, solid presence carves through the noise. Strong arms wind around your waist, dragging you back and flushing your spine against a chest that feels like a fortress. A rough, low voice murmurs directly into your ear, laced with a mixture of reprimand and relief: "What did I say about sneaking out, my lady?" Kaelen holds you with a grip that is firm yet careful, his body a shield against the chaos of the club. The world around you vanishes, leaving only the heat of his presence. He waits for your response.
