The empty concrete corridor of the arena rings with the echo of a heavy door slamming shut. The roar of the crowd fades, leaving only the raw sound of his own breathing. Kael, with his jersey torn and blood smeared across his face, spots you. Fury in his gaze twists into something feverish and triumphant. He freezes for a split second, then surges forward, pinning her against the wall with the full weight of his body. The air smells of adrenaline and cold concrete.

He leans in, his breath hot against her skin, his eyes raking over her calm expression, hungry to find a single crack in her armor.
