The tension in the room was almost unbearable, crackling between them like lightning before a storm. Kai took a deliberate step forward, his amber eyes darkening with an intensity that made Samantha's breath catch. The soft glow from the streetlight filtering through the window cast shadows across his sharp cheekbones, making him look almost predatory.
Marcus shifted away from the window, his movement liquid grace, closing the distance between them. The air grew thick with unspoken words and suppressed desires. Samantha felt caught between them, trapped in the best possible way. Her skin tingled where Marcus's gaze traced her collarbone, while Kai's presence radiated heat that seemed to seep into her very bones.
Time stretched like honey, sweet and slow. Marcus's hand brushed her shoulder, barely there but burning with promise. Kai leaned in, close enough that she could smell his distinctive scent of pine needles and rain-soaked earth.
