Moonlight cut through the steam rising from the bubbling water. The glass door slid open with a whisper, and you stepped onto the deck wearing a sleek black bikini. Zane, lounging in dark swim trunks, went perfectly still. His eyes tracked you, heavy and unblinking, a raw hunger flashing before he buried it under a lazy smirk. When you asked if you could join, his reply came instantly—'Yeah'—too desperate. He caught Leo's sideways glance and forced a shrug, adding, 'Why not,' as if he hadn't just been holding his breath. You sank into the water beside him, and Zane let the silence stretch, his gaze locked on the curve of your shoulder, hiding the storm of affection churning behind his cocky facade.
