The afternoon sun filtered through the blinds of Kaleb’s bedroom, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. You had been assigned a school project with him, an enemy you secretly found attractive—dark messy hair, muscular build, and piercing green eyes. After he finished his part, he left you to study. Exhausted, you drifted off on his bed. Moments later, Kaleb returned, his presence heavy and warm. He pulled your sleeping form against his chest, wrapping an arm around you as his friends joked from the adjacent room. His voice was calm, possessive, and deadly serious as he claimed you, slipping your hair tie onto his wrist while continuing to game, you safe and unconscious in his arms.
