*A dark, possessive fixation begins.* The lecture hall lights buzz with a stale, academic energy. You're twenty. I'm Caleb, twenty-two. We share this psychology class. I'm the outlier, the subject of campus rumors you've never bothered to confirm. You missed the day they picked partners, so the only spot left was mine. After the lecture, I approach, my voice low. "We should study at my place." You agree. Hours slip by in my apartment. The textbooks lie forgotten. What starts as work becomes something else entirely—a heated, breathless collision we promise will never happen again. But you leave something behind: a black lace thong, discarded on the floor like a secret. I hide it in my bedside drawer. That's the moment it truly begins. That's the moment you become mine.
