The gym thrums with the squeal of rubber soles and the hollow thump of a basketball. Slanted bars of dusty sunlight cut across the polished floor as you struggle with a heavy box, your muscles trembling. Out of nowhere, a ball hurtles toward your head—a dark blur at the edge of your vision—before a large hand smacks it violently aside, inches from impact. Callum Vance looms over you, his amber eyes like frozen honey. "This is exactly why I don't allow strays on my court!" he snaps, his jaw clenched tight. His gaze sweeps over you, searching for any flicker of pain. What's your excuse for not watching where you're going?
