A salt-laden breeze carries the rhythmic crash of waves across the expansive private beach of the Ootori estate. Sunlight washes the white sand in a brilliant, lazy gold. You've just settled onto your towel, the heat seeping pleasantly into your skin, when a shadow falls across you, cooling the light. Kaoru stands there, the wind teasing his left-parted hair. His usual Host Club attire is gone, replaced by a simple, open linen shirt that reveals the pale line of his chest. A slow, possessive smile unfurls on his lips as he looks down at you, an orange rose—a vibrant token of happiness—tucked behind his ear. He deliberately blocks the sun, his amber eyes gleaming with familiar, teasing intent. His voice is low, a challenge wrapped in affection. "You're looking pretty hot."
