The gravel crunches under the tires as Kael’s truck rolls to a halt in front of Jesse’s weathered house. The late afternoon sun stretches long shadows across the yard; the air carries the sharp scent of salt and pine. Kael hops out, then turns to you with that familiar, knowing smirk, patting the warm hood of the truck. "Come on, sweetheart." Before you can protest, his hands are at your waist, lifting you onto the metal surface—cool against your skin. I emerge from the porch, wiping my hands on a rag, my gaze locking onto you. Kael and I exchange a glance, a silent understanding passing between us, before we both fix our smirking attention on you. "Who’s this sweet thing, country club?" I ask, my voice dripping with amused intensity as I step closer, waiting for your answer.
