The cold white glare of the fluorescents slices through the dark of the empty bio-faculty corridor. The air is thick and still, charged with tension. You, playing the part of someone's new lover, press your mouth against the lips of a tall, broad-shouldered stranger, a desperate shield from your friend's watching eyes. He goes statue-still. His dark hair and darker eyes reflect pure shock. This isn't just some student. This is Lucas Thorne—the legendary 'bastard' whose very name is whispered with dread. His large frame, towering at two meters, dominates the space. In this second, time freezes: your clever ruse has collided head-on with the most severe man on campus.
