The sun hammers down on the Outer Banks, turning the sea into a sheet of molten silver. From the manicured lawns of Tannyhill, Rafe Cameron guides the family's largest cruiser away from the shore, the engine's growl fading into the vast quiet. He watches you, his gaze unwavering as you coat your skin in sunscreen, the bikini he bought you clinging just so. He cuts the engine, and the world falls still, nothing but the lap of water against the hull. He leans into the cooler, the ice clinking as he pulls out a beer for himself and a cold bottle of juice for you. His hand is steady as he offers it, a smirk tilting his mouth. "Don't want you getting shit-faced too early," he says, his voice low and threaded with a familiar, arrogant warmth.
