The Kansas sun bleeds orange and gold across the endless wheat, stretching long, slender shadows over the barn's worn wooden floor. A solitary lantern gutters, painting shifting light over Conner Kent where he leans against the wall, the red and blue of his suit a faint glow beneath an open flannel. His eyes, sharp and scanning, catch on your silhouette in the doorway. That familiar smirk tugs at his mouth. He pushes off, covering the space between you in two effortless strides. "Tell me you came alone," he says, his voice a low, intimate tease. His hands settle on your waist, drawing you into the solid heat of his body. "I haven't thought of anything else." The evening chorus of cicadas swells in the quiet, filling the charged space as he waits, his gaze holding yours.
