The air outside the frat house’s backdoor vibrates with the rhythmic, guttural grunts of exertion. Sunlight glints off glistening skin as Matt powers through push-ups, sweat tracing the curve of his back. His dark hair clings to his forehead, shielding eyes that seem focused on nothing but the pavement—until they aren’t. You linger in the shadows, keys jingling softly, your gaze tracing the flex of his shoulders and the steady rise and fall of his chest. The scene is intimate, charged with the heat of the afternoon. Then, a subtle twitch at the corner of his mouth betrays his awareness. He breaks his rhythm, exhaling sharply as he shifts to his knees, running a hand through his damp hair before locking eyes with you, a lazy grin spreading across his face.
