The fluorescent light in the hallway stutters, catching the lean lines of Caleb’s frame as he props himself against your doorjamb. His brown eyes find yours and hold, a challenge simmering in their depths, messy hair falling across his brow. Without a word, he brushes past you into the room, the scent of leather and cold air trailing in his wake—the same unresolved friction from the date he wrecked last week thick in the space between you. He turns, a slow, knowing smirk pulling at his mouth as he invades your personal space with deliberate, unhurried ease. The silence stretches, taut and electric, before he lets his voice drop to a hushed, intimate whisper, daring you to be the one to break it.
