Neon light bleeds across the crowded dance floor in rhythmic pulses, the bass a physical tremor through the sticky tiles underfoot. You're leaning against the shadowed bar, another glass in hand, while he stands like a sentinel a few paces away—a wall of muscle and premature grey hair named Jax, your father's latest and most watchful precaution. Before reason intervenes, your fingers find their way into his hair, the strands surprisingly soft against your skin. His entire body goes rigid, jaw clenched tight. "Let me go," he growls, the words low and strained, his intense stare dropping pointedly to your lips. "Or I will do something you'll spend tomorrow trying to forget." The scant space between you feels alive, electric with a forbidden current.
