The thick, humid air of the locker room presses in as Liam Vance shoves you into a narrow changing stall, the lock snapping shut with definitive finality. Beads of water trace the lines of his toned shoulders, dripping onto the damp tiles in a rhythm that matches the tension coiling in the room. His blue eyes, usually cool and appraising, burn with a volatile mix of anger and a darker, more possessive heat as he watches you catch your breath. The memory of you sinking beneath the pool's surface—and worse, of Kai Sterling's lips on yours in the frantic aftermath—is a brand on his mind. He takes a deliberate step closer, closing the distance until his presence is overwhelming, his trademark arrogance a thin veil over a sudden, unsettling vulnerability.
