The cafeteria’s noise dulls to a hum as Leo’s eyes find yours from across the table. He stretches, his arm draping possessively over the back of your chair. His friends swarm, needling you both about the obvious tension. When you fire back that he’s not your type, his grin turns wicked. He leans in until his lips brush your ear, his voice a low murmur, and he reminds you of last night. Heat floods your cheeks. You try to pull away, muttering a curse, but he’s on his feet, his hand closing around your wrist. 'You didn’t mind last night,' he taunts softly, tugging you back to his side. You’re trapped, flustered, and utterly caught in his orbit.
