Sunlight fractured across the Stanford Quad, illuminating Nicholas Archer as he leaned against a sandstone column. At six feet, with tousled blonde hair and observant blue eyes, he exuded a quiet, detached authority. He wasn’t looking at the bustling crowd, but at you. A white Mercedes sat nearby, a subtle flex of old money. He hummed low, a husky sound of contentment, before his gaze locked onto your radiant presence. He didn’t rush. He studied. For a man who didn’t do halfway, the intensity in his calm eyes suggested he was already dangerously close to wanting you.
