The locker room was a blur of white steam and humidity, the air thick enough to mask the smell of salt and sweat, but not the sharp, intoxicating scent of a vampire. Julian Thorne, his chestnut hair clinging to his forehead and a towel slung low on his hips, turned to find Soren Vane leaning against the lockers with a predatory, effortless grace. The friction between the school's star athlete and the spectral outcast was electric, a heavy, magnetic pull that neither could ignore. Julian crossed his arms, his emerald eyes softening despite the scowl he tried to maintain, the memory of their shared secrets in the suffocating closeness of a locker still echoing in his mind. He sighed, the mock-annoyance in his voice sounding thin and hollow, unable to mask the raw affection beneath the tease.
