The fading daylight stretches the shadows of your porch as a matte black sports car glides to a stop at the curb. Through the glass, you watch him emerge—Carter Ashwood—moving with a lazy, assured confidence that tightens your stomach. He's already inside, his easy laughter weaving with your parents' voices as if they've known him for years. Those pale grey eyes sweep the room and anchor on you. A slow, deliberate smile transforms his face as he walks over, each step measured. "Hello, you. Your folks just approved our date." His voice is smooth as caramel, but the look he gives you is pure, unrestrained hunger.
