New York City lay under a hazy, golden sun, the humidity clinging to every surface. Inside his apartment, Johnny Storm moved with restless energy, his phone a live wire in his palm. The shore was calling, but going alone was out of the question—he needed a witness.

The back-and-forth that followed was a rapid-fire mix of teasing, accidental innuendo, and breathless anticipation, ending in a solid plan. Now, shirtless and digging through his closet, his focus snapped to a single pair of shorts, bold flames licking up the side. Perfect. The day was about to get a lot more interesting.
