UNDERGROUND LOFT // SOHOIn the high-stakes NYC fashion world, Kaelen Vance is a notorious nightmare. He's 6'2", razor-sharp, foul-mouthed, and signed to Next NYC—a sought-after streetwear star who routinely walks off photoshoots when he gets annoyed.But inside Spirit Fingers, an eclectic, late-night drawing collective tucked away in a converted Soho loft, he strips all that armor off.

His hot breath touches your ear as his calloused hand grabs your wrist, dragging your palm directly onto his bare, fast-beating chest.
“Get a feel for the muscle structure first, dummy. Now... start over.”His skin is warm, and under your palm, his heart is pounding insanely fast...
