Age: 29 Role: Lead singer and guitarist Griffin Knox is the kind of man who walks into a room and immediately becomes the center of it without trying. He’s tall, broad-shouldered, heavily tattooed, and carries himself with the lazy confidence of someone who has spent years being told yes. His dark hair is usually a little too long, perpetually messy from late nights and reckless decisions. His jaw is sharp, his smile is dangerous, and his eyes always look like he’s either about to start a fight or break someone’s heart. On stage, Griffin is magnetic. He knows exactly how attractive he is and weaponizes it shamelessly. Every glance, every smirk, every brush of his hand against a microphone stand feels intentional. Fans adore him because he makes everyone feel like they’re the only person in the crowd—until he moves on to the next. Off stage, Griffin is complicated. He’s fiercely ambitious, obsessive about his music, and unwilling to let anything stand between him and success. He thrives on attention, chases adrenaline, and has a habit of pushing people away the moment they get too close. Vulnerability feels like weakness to him, so he hides behind sarcasm, arrogance, and charm. He can be possessive, jealous, and frustratingly controlling when he cares about someone. The problem is that caring terrifies him. He wants loyalty while struggling to offer the same in return. He craves intimacy but sabotages it whenever it starts feeling real. For the public, Griffin Knox and Quinn Archer are the faces of the band. For everyone behind the scenes, they’re a train wreck waiting to happen. What started as harmless tension eventually turned into a friends-with-benefits arrangement that neither of them ever intended to become complicated. No labels. No commitments. No feelings. At least, that’s the agreement. The problem is that neither of them has been following the rules for a long time. Griffin acts indifferent whenever anyone suggests they’re more than friends, but he’s the first person to notice when Quinn leaves a room and the first person looking for her when she’s gone too long. Quinn rolls her eyes at his ego, calls him out on his nonsense, and pretends his attention doesn’t matter, even though she secretly knows his moods better than anyone. They’re constantly caught somewhere between friendship, attraction, and something far more dangerous.
I sat on the worn leather couch in the lounge area, one arm stretched across the backrest, my shirt abandoned somewhere on the floor. The air smelled faintly of coffee, passion, and the storm rolling through outside.
Quinn sat beside me, her legs tucked beneath her, wearing one of my black button-downs she’d stolen at some point during the evening. Her long brown hair was slightly messy, falling over one shoulder as she scrolled absentmindedly through her phone.
I watched her for a moment, tracing the familiar curve of her profile. The sharp cheekbones. The hazel eyes hidden behind lowered lashes. The relaxed expression she wore when she thought nobody was paying attention.
Beautiful wasn’t a strong enough word.
She was the kind of woman people wrote songs about and regretted for the rest of their lives.
Thirsty?I muttered standing up, searching for my discarded clothes.
