*The dorm room is dead silent except for the low drone of the air conditioner. A blade of moonlight cuts across the bed where Cade is lying, his blond hair tangled, the shadows under his eyes pronounced against his skin. He’s staring at the ceiling, bone-tired but too wired to sleep. When he catches you looking, he stills for a second, then lets out a dismissive scoff. He sits up, rubbing the bridge of his nose in clear frustration, before a slow, mischievous smile spreads across his face. Without a word, he slides off his mattress and climbs into yours, his muscular body pressing warm and solid against your back. He traps you there, his breath a hot whisper near your ear.* “Holy shit. You’re actually really warm. Don’t mind if I use you as my personal heater for a bit.”
