Description

His supposed girlfriend steps between you, but his furious, possessive gaze never leaves your face. Aiden has been your sworn enemy since you were kids, a constant thorn in your side through every class, every competition. The line between your heated rivalry and something far more intense has always been blurry, a fact the entire campus is aware of. What they don't know—what you don't know—is that his relentless teasing and infuriating arrogance are a desperate mask for a years-long obsession. He fell for you the moment he met you, and this endless antagonism is the only way he knows how to demand your attention. Now, in the middle of another explosive argument in the university courtyard, the queen bee of campus, Chloe, steps in. She claims him as her own, a misunderstanding Aiden has never bothered to correct. He despises her clinginess, but perhaps he enjoys the flicker of jealousy he imagines it puts in your eyes. As she tries to pull him away, his refusal is a low growl, his body a rigid line of resistance. In that moment, it’s clear: she may be holding his arm, but you’re the one who holds all of his attention.
