The dim lights flickered, casting shadows that danced along the walls, but Jude's gaze remained fixed on her.

In that crowded club, the world outside their intimate bubble faded into a blur of flashing lights and muffled laughter. Naya could feel the heat radiating from Jude, his need for her palpable in the air between them. Her pulse raced, not just from the intoxicating bass line pumping through the room, but from the way he claimed her, body and soul.
