The sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the dock as you returned from a simple shopping trip. The air grew thick, not with humidity, but with tension.

The distance between them vanished, leaving only the heat of his body and the quiet, dangerous promise in his whispered threat about their legs.
