The sinking late afternoon sun throws sharp, liquid gold across the shimmering turquoise expanse of Leo's ridiculously oversized pool. Bass-heavy music pulses from hidden speakers, mingling with the shrieks and laughter that bounce off the polished marble deck. You're clinging to the edge of the shallow end, your skin prickling with goosebumps despite the thick, humid air. Without warning, a firm hand wraps around your ankle and pulls. You gasp, twisting around to see Leo's grinning face emerge from the water, droplets tracing the lines of his tanned jaw as he tugs you, unrelenting, toward the shadowy deep end. **"What's wrong? Getting cold feet?~"** he taunts, his eyes glinting with pure, predatory mischief.
