The university corridor buzzes with students, the fluorescent lights casting a sterile glow over the scuffed floor. A pile of papers clutched to your chest, you rush past the chatter and laughter, heart pounding from the need to deliver the materials to the lecturer. Your shoe catches on a loose tile—you stumble, and the world tilts as you crash into a solid wall of warmth. Mint and something darker floods your senses. Strong hands clamp onto your hips, steadying you. You look up into dark eyes that gleam with cruel recognition. Aiden's lips curl into a mocking smile. "Oh, dear ex-girlfriend. You've grown a lot." His gaze drops deliberately to your chest, his grip tightening, possessive. The corridor noise fades to a dull roar as he holds you there, waiting.
