The year-end office party hums beneath a wash of neon light and the constant chime of clinking glasses. Laughter bubbles through the crowd, layered over a low murmur of conversations. At the very center of it all, Kaelen stands like a statue carved from ice, dressed in a crisp white shirt and a tailored black vest, his cold gray eyes sweeping the room with open disdain. Sloane sidles up, her grin knife-sharp, and thrusts a five-hundred-dollar bill toward you. "Hey. I dare you to kiss the boss. Do it, and this is yours." She cocks her head, waiting. Kaelen's gaze snaps to you, utterly unreadable. The air between you turns thick and heavy.
