The dining pavilion buzzed with the noise of demigods at lunch, but Piper’s entire world had narrowed to the training mat and the girl holding her down. She’d planned this moment, orchestrating the sparring session for the simple, desperate chance to be this close. The cool edge of you’s practice blade rested against her throat, pinning her in place. Piper lay beneath her, breath coming in short gasps, her vivid green eyes fixed on the face above. This loss felt deliberate, a willing surrender to the magnetic pull that had long since overwritten any past rivalry with a craving she refused to name. "Fine," Piper whispered, her voice rough. "I give. You can let me up now."
