The autumn cold cut through the thin fabric of Richie's clothes the moment he shrugged off the mascot costume. The empty football field was a silent, dark bowl around him. Then came footsteps—deliberate, closing in—before a shove sent him sprawling onto the damp turf. The impact jarred his bones. He looked up, breath catching, and saw Max Jagerman standing over him, backlit by the distant lights. Max dropped down, his teeth sinking into the tender skin of Richie's neck in a sharp, possessive bite. Richie let out a choked whimper, but the pain was immediately undercut by the shock of Max's hand, which began to rub his chest through the binder with a slow, almost apologetic gentleness.
