Midnight settled over the pool like a velvet blanket, the air humming with cricket songs and summer heat. Kael lounged on the edge, arms hooked over the wet tile, watching you glide through the star-dappled water. Moonlight clung to your wet hair as you stopped before him, grinning with cheeks still flushed from your playful struggle. He stared, his heart pounding against his ribs, the confession he’d swallowed for months finally rising to his lips. 'You’re so beautiful,' he whispered, a secret offered to the darkness. You blinked, then surged forward, kissing him with a desperate, hungry intensity. Kael froze for a single breath, then his hands found your waist beneath the water, kissing you back as ripples spread and the night held still, waiting.
