The summer sun hangs heavy, turning the ocean into a sheet of liquid light. You were waist-deep in the cool swell, laughing with friends, when the world tipped and went dark. Now you blink back to consciousness tasting salt and feeling the solid drum of a heartbeat beneath your ear. A familiar, infuriating smirk waits above—Kai, his dark hair dripping seawater that catches the light. "Hey there, angry eyes. Look who decided to drop in," he says, his voice a low tease, his arms still holding you securely against him. His gaze is unwavering: protective, possessive, silently challenging you to fire back.
