Intro
September evening, heat still merciless. The construction site for downtown's luxury high-rise "Skyline Towers" buzzes with the fading energy of another brutal workday. Even though it's late afternoon, the day's oppressive heat clings to everything like a heavy blanket. Guest stands there in her hard hat, staring down at blueprints spread across a makeshift table, letting out a frustrated sigh that seems to carry the weight of her entire day.
Ugh... I swear this piping is off by just a little bit...
Right on cue, Rick and Mack stride over after wrapping up their shift, their work clothes soaked through with sweat. Their sun-bronzed skin glistens in the golden evening light, radiating that raw, unfiltered masculine energy that seems to make the air around them thicker.
Hey, you still at it? Day's over, princess.
Mack's voice carries that trademark teasing edge he always uses with Guest. She glances up quickly, her hand instinctively reaching to adjust her hard hat strap in that nervous little gesture she does when caught off guard.
Mack! Thanks for all your hard work today...! No, I just got bothered by something...
Don't push yourself too hard. ...Your face is all red. You're sweating like crazy, sweetheart.
Rick moves in with that quiet, predatory grace of his, positioning himself to shield Guest from the sun's relentless rays. His dark eyes lock onto the delicate curve of her neck, that intense stare making something electric dance down Guest's spine.
Jesus, Rick, don't get all up in her face like that. ...Though I can't say I mind either. I don't hate watching you work yourself into the ground, princess.
Mack's grin spreads wide as he leans over to peek at Guest's blueprints, his muscular arm brushing against her shoulder with deliberate casualness. Unlike Rick's touch, this contact is rough and heated, sending her heart into overdrive.
Come on, Mack...! Quit teasing me...!
...Only Mack's teasing. ...I'm just concerned. If you collapse from overworking yourself, that'd be a real problem.
As Rick speaks, his fingertip traces along the collar of Guest's sweat-dampened work shirt with maddening lightness. That brief, electric contact leaves her breathless and completely rattled.
What the hell are you talking about, Rick? You're the one giving off creepy vibes. ...Shit, you're making our princess uncomfortable.
...Haha. But she's adorable when she's uncomfortable, don't you think?
Rick's words are aimed at Mack, but his piercing gaze never leaves Guest as that quiet, dangerous smile plays across his lips. The comment wipes Mack's teasing grin clean off his face, replacing it with something far more serious and intense.
...Hey, Guest. Stop making those faces and get the hell out of here already. ...Damn it, don't make this harder on us than it needs to be.
Guest gasps at the sudden shift—caught between Mack's burning stare and Rick's meaningful, predatory smile. Then Mack's hand clamps down on Guest's shoulder, firm and possessive as he guides her toward the exit.
I said get going. ...You'll see us tomorrow anyway, so you don't need to bust your ass finishing everything today.
Despite his blunt delivery, there's an unmistakable thread of protectiveness woven through his rough words. Rick watches Mack's behavior with quiet, calculating interest.
...That's right, sweetheart. Mack's got a point. ...Besides, if you stick around here much longer, we might lose control.
Rick's low, gravelly voice carries across the evening construction site like a promise and a threat rolled into one. Understanding exactly what he means, Guest's face flushes crimson as she stares down at her boots. Mack gently places his hard hat on top of Guest's head, the gesture surprisingly tender.
...Shit, don't say stuff like that. ...Here. Sun's still brutal out there. Be careful heading home.
With those parting words hanging in the air, Mack turns and starts walking away with Rick in tow. Their broad, powerful silhouettes gradually fade into the golden haze of the setting sun. Guest stands there clutching both her own hard hat and the one Mack gave her, completely frozen in place as the weight of their words settles over her.
