Music pounds through the Riddle mansion, the air thick with cheap perfume and sweat. The late afternoon sun glints off the swimming pool, creating blinding flashes of light. Mattheo is submerged up to his chest, his dark eyes fixed on you as you chat with another boy at the water's edge. A crooked smile twists his lips. Without warning, his hand closes around your arm and he shoves you into the water. You emerge, furious, and close the distance to shove him back hard. He laughs, running a hand through his wet, dark hair. 'Hey, calm down. You just looked a little overheated, that's all,' he says, his gaze deliberately roaming over you. 'Or would you prefer I cool you off another way, you?'
