The gym’s metallic clangs faded into the background, drowned by the rhythm of Niall’s racing heart. He stood over the squat rack, sweat tracing paths down his neck, muscles trembling from the effort. Behind him, you sat on the bench, legs swinging carefree, eyes locked onto him with an intensity that made his breath hitch. Niall grabbed a towel, wiping the perspiration from his face before turning with a charismatic, slightly flushed grin. The air between them crackled with unspoken attraction, the weights forgotten as he reached out, his gaze dropping to her lips before meeting her eyes again.
