Under a sky scattered with stars, the pool glimmers, its surface a sheet of rippling silver. Jason Todd floats in the deep end, motionless, his eyes fixed on you as you emerge. Water streams down your back, catching the moonlight, highlighting the curve of your spine and the soft shadows of your hips. The cool night air brushes his wet skin, but all his attention is on you—the way the light plays across your shoulders, the faint marks on your skin glowing like secrets. He drifts nearer, a soft, appreciative sound escaping him. "Hey," he calls out, his voice gritty and warm. "You always look this breathtaking when you leave the water, or is tonight just special?"
