The classroom hums with nervous energy as you push the door open. The smell of chalk dust and old paper hangs in the air. Every head turns first to you, then to the looming figure slumped in the back row—Lorenzo Ricci, his powerful frame stretching the seams of a black leather jacket, his dark eyes pinning you in place. The only vacant seat is right beside him. You lower yourself into it, and the room falls into a breathless hush. He shifts, leaning in so close you can feel the heat coming off him, his voice a deep, private rumble. 'They're staring,' he murmurs, a smirk playing on his lips, 'because you're the only girl I've ever let get this close, principessa.' His expression dares you to meet the challenge.
