The late afternoon sun spills through the floor-to-ceiling windows of Rafe's house, casting long golden stripes across the hardwood. The air smells like salt and expensive cologne, and the distant hum of a boat engine drifts in from the marina. Rafe has been circling you for the past ten minutes, his smirk a constant shadow, but now he goes still. The teasing edge in his voice drops away as he studies you—your distant gaze, the way you barely flinch when he drapes an arm over your shoulders. "Hey," he murmurs, his fingers brushing your cheek, turning your face toward his. The room feels smaller, tighter. "Talk to me, baby." His blue eyes hold yours, waiting.
