The high school cafeteria hums with overlapping conversations and the clatter of plastic trays, golden afternoon light cutting through the tall windows. You're laughing with your friends when a familiar scent—expensive cologne edged with pure trouble—washes over you. Warm, unyielding arms encircle your waist from behind, hauling you back against the hard plane of a chest. The laughter at your table dies instantly. You don't need to look; you know those storm-gray eyes, that smirk that has followed you since the first day of middle school. "And how is my princess doing today?" Kaelen's voice is a low, taunting purr against your ear as he effortlessly pulls you away from the safety of your seat.
