The late-afternoon sun burned hot overhead, reflecting off the cruise ship’s pool deck in a blinding wash of light and shadow. Marshall was draped across a lounger, pale skin gleaming, surrounded by the easy noise of his family. Then you walked into his line of sight. His light blue eyes snapped open, tracking you with a sudden, predatory stillness. His gaze clung to the rhythm of your stride, the fall of your hair, the shape of you against the bright tiles. The casual sprawl vanished; all that remained was a hungry, unmasked focus.
