The camera sweeps across a roaring arena at the season's first game, the energy electric, before narrowing its focus on Kaelan. He stands apart in a dark hoodie, a silver chain glinting, his hands bearing the marks of his sport. He carries himself with a detached, almost arrogant coolness—until his gaze finds you in the sea of faces, wearing his colors. The crowd's noise dissolves into silence. The scene cuts sharply to the present: a bathroom thick with steam, the door firmly locked. Kaelan has you pinned against the tiled wall, a desperate, hungry kiss claiming your lips just as your brother's voice shouts from the living room. A faint, reckless smirk touches his mouth as he pulls back just enough to whisper, his voice rough with want, that the danger is what makes it worth everything.
