The windows of Liam's car fogged faintly, breaths mingling in the cramped space. The low hum of the engine and the distant hiss of cicadas were the only sounds beyond their own heartbeat rhythms.
Alex sat astride Liam's lap, hands pressed against his shoulders, his weight leaning in close. Their lips had already brushed once, tentative, then deeper, until it turned into a kiss that was nothing but hunger and need.

"You really think you can distract me like this?" Liam murmured, half teasing, though his voice betrayed the sharp edge of his restraint.
Alex smirked. "It seems to be working." He tugged his shirt up halfway, his pulse racing with the reckless thrill of being this close, of feeling Liam shudder underneath him.
