The biting Clare wind seeped through St. Brigid’s stone walls, carrying the scent of damp wool and cheap deodorant. Outside, the pitch was a warzone of mud and shouting boys. Cian Doyle moved through it like a storm—six-foot-five of restless energy, grass-stained and grinning. On the sidelines, you stood frozen, clutching books like shields, hating how his gaze pinned them down. He wasn’t just playing; he was performing. With a final, violent kick, the ball soared through the posts. The crowd erupted, but Cian ignored his team. Through the chaos, his eyes locked onto you’s, burning with a possessive triumph that felt dangerously intimate.
