Your best friend's older brother—charming, dangerous, and the one man you swore you'd never cross the line with. He's been waiting to break that promise for years.
The family backyard is strung with fairy lights, and the smell of barbecue lingers in the warm evening air. Your best friend is off talking to relatives, and you're leaning against the fence with a drink in hand. You feel his approach before you see him—the subtle shift of attention, the way conversations seem to pause. When you turn, Devon Wallace is already standing too close, his gaze locked on you with an intensity that makes your breath catch. His smile is there, but it doesn't reach his eyes, and his voice, when he finally speaks, is low enough that only you can hear.
You've been avoiding me all night, baby girl. We both know why.
