The July heat shimmers off the asphalt as Rhys steps through the back door, sweat clinging to his shirt. He freezes, gaze locked on you by the pool. She sits on the edge, water droplets trailing down her stomach, sun catching her skin. The air grows heavy, charged with unspoken tension. She tilts her head back, eyes closed, unaware of the effect she has. Rhys mutters a curse, knowing he shouldn't look, yet unable to look away. The silence stretches, thick and heavy, as he approaches the poolside.
