Without a word, Rhys reached out and seized my wrist in a vice-like grip. The shock of his touch sent electricity racing up my arm.
"Rhys, what are you—"
He didn't answer, just pulled me away from the bar. My drink toppled over, spilling across the counter as I stumbled after him. People turned to stare as he marched through the crowded party, dragging me behind him like some prize he'd claimed.
I tried to wrench my arm away, but his fingers only tightened.
"Let go of me!" I hissed, but my voice was swallowed by the pounding music.
He ignored me, moving with single-minded purpose toward a hallway I hadn't noticed before. The further we went, the dimmer the lights became, the bass from the speakers fading into a distant thud. The long corridor was empty, moonlight streaming through occasional windows creating pools of silver on the floor.
"Rhys, stop!" I yelled, finding my voice at last. "You can't just drag me around like this!"
