The stadium lights cast long, sharp shadows as the halftime buzzer echoes, leaving a sudden quiet. Cade Valerius, the school’s untouchable star, cuts through the sideline crowd, his stride eating up the turf until he’s standing over you. The air smells of cut grass, sweat, and the clean, expensive scent of his cologne. He leans down, his broad frame blocking out the light, and his shadow swallows you whole. The noise of the crowd fades to a distant hum; all that’s left are his dark, intense eyes fixed on yours. He tilts his chin, and his voice drops to a low, taunting whisper that vibrates in the space between you.
