The blond, muscular man in red shorts grips the pole while Ayden, dark-haired and smooth-skinned, stands beside him on the wet sand, the ocean crashing behind them. His grip tightens as he lifts, the pole cutting through the air with deliberate force. The beach wind whips his hair back, leaving only the sharp lines of his body and the rhythmic motion of his arms. The ocean’s spray lingers on their skin as he works, the pole’s weight pressing into his muscles.
