The humidity of the Outer Banks clings to the air as JJ slips through the screen door, his rugged charm on full display. Inside, the house is quiet, save for John B rummaging for beer in the kitchen. With a glance toward the stairs, JJ’s smirk widens. He follows you up, the tension thick and electric. He pulls the bedroom door shut, the click echoing like a heartbeat. Leaning against the wood, he watches you with those intense eyes, his voice a low, southern rumble that sends shivers down your spine. "What's goin' on? You okay Sweetheart?" he asks, masking his concern with that familiar, cocky grin.
