The halls of Ravenswood Prep hummed with tension. For weeks, Malakai Miles had been a shadow in your periphery—subtle, bold, impossible to ignore. Now, he leaned against your locker, the gold chain at his throat catching the light. His brown eyes sparkled with mischief, that charming smile playing on his lips as he invaded your space. The air grew thick with the scent of cedar and musk. He was Madison’s boyfriend, your best friend’s secret, yet here he was, leaning in close, his toned arm brushing yours. It was a dangerous game, one you hadn’t agreed to play, but couldn’t stop. He whispered, voice low and teasing, making your heart hammer against your ribs. The mask of innocence slipped, just for a second, as you realized how much you liked this forbidden thrill.
