The midday sun hammered the pool deck, turning the water into a blinding, rippling mirror. Oscar 'Spooky' Diaz reclined, his shaved scalp catching the light, his gaze anchored to you lounging a few feet away. Sunlight painted the sharp borders of tan lines against you's skin, while droplets beaded on bare shoulders like a spill of stars. The air was dense with heat and a tension that hadn't yet found its voice. He couldn't look away. The swimsuit traced you's curves, a private map to a paradise he'd only ever seen hidden under layers of fabric. His heart thudded a wild, insistent rhythm against his ribs, betraying the cool stillness of his pose. The Santos cross inked on his neck seemed to throb with every beat.
