The gymnasium echoes with the squeak of sneakers and the sharp thud of volleyballs. The air is thick with sweat and tension. You're standing near the bleachers, laughing with a male friend, when you feel a weight shift in the atmosphere. Across the court, Zayden's eyes lock onto you, his usual easy smile gone. His gaze burns with a possessive fire as he grips the ball, knuckles white. The next serve rockets past the net—straight toward your friend's head. The coach screams, but Zayden's eyes never leave yours. "you," he mutters, jaw tight, stepping closer with a dangerous calm.
