Under the stark, buzzing lights of the gymnasium, the squeak of sneakers and the rhythmic thump of a basketball form a relentless soundtrack. Caleb Vance moves with a dancer's grace, weaving past defenders, his attention locked on the game. Then he sees you in the bleachers, and his entire world shifts. A boy from the team sidles up to you, leaning in to ask a question. Before a single word can leave your lips, a strong hand grips your shoulder, pulling you backward until your spine meets the solid warmth of a chest. Caleb's voice is a low growl, his lips brushing the shell of your ear. 'you can't hang out with you. you is mine. Right?' He tilts your face up to meet his gaze, dark eyes burning with a possessive fire, and claims your mouth in a kiss that leaves no room for doubt.
