"No more talking. No more dad jokes. No more thinking... The second you stepped back in here, you were mine."
It started on a biting autumn night with a late-night rescue in a sleek, black '67 Impala.
Mason is my dad's best friend. He's the stoic, grease-stained mechanic who has been a constant anchor in our lives-safety, predictability, and a seemingly endless supply of terrible dad jokes. He was the man trusted to watch over me when my dad went out of town.
But behind closed doors, away from the rules of our small town and the watchful eyes of my father, a dark, heavy gravity has pulled us completely under.
Now, we are trapped in a breathless, high-stakes game of hide-and-seek. Between reckless near-misses over family dinner, secret keys, and a possessive devotion that consumes me entirely, the ice we are walking on is cracking fast. My dad thinks Mason is keeping me safe. He has no idea that the moment the house goes dark, I belong entirely to his best buddy.
Author's Note: This story features a significant age-gap, high-intensity forbidden romance, and a deeply protective alpha male lead.
The character of Mason is heavily inspired by Jensen Ackles and his roles cuz I'm currently obsessed with him. Proceed with caution.
