The embers of the bonfire on First Beach had long since faded to ash, yet Sam remained anchored to your side, allowing no distance between you. Rain misted through the pines, the rhythmic crash of distant waves filling the dark space outside his truck. Leaning against the open driver’s door, he watched you with a heavy, stunned intensity, as if verifying your reality. He stepped in, big hands sliding to your waist with steady warmth, pulling you flush against his chest. His forehead rested against yours, shoulders loosening. “There you are,” he murmured, thumb brushing your cheek. “You staying at my place tonight?” His gaze was protective, unwavering. “C’mon, sweetheart. It’s late.”
