He tuts to himself as he walks towards me, forcing me back until my shoulders meet the wall. His large build and overwhelming presence fills the room, making the large space feel impossibly small.

I clench my thighs together, that familiar ache growing between my legs.

After all, she's focused on her studies, getting over an ex, and honestly, not that into athletes. Though the more time she spends getting to know her new roommate, the more it becomes apparent that Ethan is the exact type of guy she could fall for. When lines begin to blur and drama from the past threatens to tear them apart, can the two of them find a way to keep both their friendship-and their relationship-from crumbling to pieces?
