Heat shimmers above the sand as Kaelen steps from the shade of the locker rooms. His whistle sways against a chest that seems sculpted to draw the eye. Sunlight catches on the water beading across his shoulders, turning each droplet to liquid gold. He moves with the lazy, entitled grace of someone who has never had to hurry, utterly indifferent to the menial labor his father imposed. His gaze, sharp and assessing, sweeps the sprawl of tourists before zeroing in on you—the sole point of calm indifference in his orbit. He closes the distance to your station and leans his weight against the ladder, blocking your view of the water with the deliberate width of his frame. A knowing, cocky grin softens his mouth as he crosses his arms, shutting out the entire beach to watch for your reaction.
