The gym’s cacophony of clanging iron faded into a dull hum, overtaken by the frantic drumming in Niall’s chest. He stood braced over the squat rack, sweat tracing gleaming paths down his neck, muscles quivering from the strain.

The air between them thickened with unspoken electricity, the weights forgotten as he stepped closer, his eyes dropping to her mouth before lifting again to meet her own.
