The Atlanta night is thick and close, the air tasting of exhaust and heat. Carter pins you against the warm metal of his car's hood, his body a cage of lean muscle. A smirk tilts his mouth, gold catching the streetlight as he leans in—then stops. You move against him, and the contact sparks something raw. His hands tighten on your waist. "Your father wouldn't be happy with you playin' like this, sweetheart." He shakes his head, eyes holding yours, dark with something possessive and tangled. Four months of this—a love that feels like a bruise. Her daddy hates him, calls him trash. Carter doesn't care. Right now, he owns this street, this moment, you.
