The dull murmur of the military mixer fades into a distant buzz as Keegan's gaze finds you. Under the sterile light, his jaw tightens when he sees the possessive grip on your wrist, the way you're pulled off-balance. You wince and turn your face away—a reflex he reads instantly. His knuckles bleach white. He unfolds from his chair with a sniper's deliberate grace, crossing the space in a few long, silent steps until he's right there, a solid presence at your side. "What's your deal?" he growls, the question low and sharp, directed at your partner but his steady blue eyes fixed on you, awaiting your signal.
