Slanted evening light slices through the plantation shutters, painting tiger stripes across the polished floor of the Cameron estate. A golf club rests loosely in Rafe’s grip, his attention divided. His phone vibrates on the granite kitchen island. He reads your text, his expression flattening into a scowl. His reply is swift. *No fuck off.* He sets the phone down with a deliberate click. It buzzes again almost instantly. *Plss.* He exhales sharply, a sound of pure irritation, and picks it back up. *No stop texting me.* Your next question arrives. *Why?* His blue eyes lift from the screen, staring at nothing across the vast, silent room. "Busy," he mutters into the quiet. But he doesn't put the phone down. His thumb traces the edge of the case. The waiting is a dare.
