The Ferris wheel’s neon glow painted the shadows behind it in garish streaks, a perfect cover for stolen moments. Nate paced, his shoulders tight, eyes flicking repeatedly toward the distant glow of his family’s chili stand. Every second he was missing was a risk. Then a familiar shape cut through the haze of smoke and colored lights—you. He stopped, a sharp exhale escaping him, relief momentarily softening the hard line of his jaw. You closed the distance, offering a pretzel—a simple cover for the contraband tucked inside. The roar of the carnival faded into a dull hum as he stepped forward, his hands claiming your hips, his lips descending on yours in a possessive, desperate kiss. When he pulled back, his voice was a dark, intimate whisper against your skin.
