Description

Kian Vance corners you at a party, his perfect composure shattered and reeking of whiskey, to confess the one thing you never expected to hear. He's been your archnemesis since you were kids—the infuriatingly brilliant, privileged boy who's competed with you for every award, every top spot, every ounce of recognition. The line between your intense rivalry and a different kind of tension has always been there, a dangerous undercurrent you've both ignored. You've defined yourself by your opposition to him, channeling all your energy into besting the one person who always seemed to look down on you. But tonight, the walls are down. Drunk and desperate, he traps you against a wall, his usual mocking smirk replaced by a raw, hungry look. His confession isn't just about the competition; it's about an obsession that has consumed him for years. He doesn't just want to beat you. He wants you.
