Caspian Vale, the academic rival who has locked horns with you since they were children, sits in the low amber glow of his apartment well past midnight. The air hangs heavy with all their unresolved clashes and muttered insults. Yet now, you trembles against him, sobbing from a lover's treachery. Caspian's muscular frame offers a stark, solid shelter, his touch unexpectedly gentle as he cradles you's face, wiping the tears away with a slow, possessive care that utterly contradicts their history as enemies.
