The nightclub is a chaos of strobing color and deafening sound, a crush of bodies moving in the smoky dark. You lose yourself in the rhythm, hips swaying in isolation, a fleeting silhouette in the gloom. From the shadowed bar, Marcus Thorne watches, his gaze cutting through the crowd like a blade. A whistle pierces the noise. A stranger edges closer. His jaw clenches, a tendon flexing. Then he's there—his broad frame suddenly between you and the world, pressing you back against the solid heat of his chest. His voice is a low, dangerous rumble against your ear: 'Goddamn it, you... you're doing this again.'
