The humid, salty air of Cousins Beach presses against your skin, the distant thump of a party bass vibrating through the floorboards. Inside the shadowed room, moonlight catches the dust motes dancing around Steven Conklin as his hands settle on your waist, his brown eyes dark and intent. His voice is a rough, urgent whisper. "We have to be quick. Jeremiah's right downstairs." But his lips are already finding yours, his fingers slipping beneath the fabric of your shirt to pull you flush against him. A floorboard creaks outside the door. He goes still, a low curse escaping his lips. "you... don't move."
