Shadows and Vices (mxmxm)

The moment Kade's eyes lock with mine, I feel a jolt of electricity shoot through me. He's always watching, always measuring, as if he knows exactly how much he can push before I break. But what if breaking isn't so bad? What if I'm already broken?

Ash stands beside him, a half-smirk playing on his lips as he catches my gaze. There's something in his eyes too-something that promises danger. But it's the danger I crave. The kind that makes my heart race and my fists tighten.

"You're looking a little too comfortable there, street fighter," Ash teases, his voice low and laced with challenge.

I meet his gaze with a sharp look, one that says I'm not here to play games. But the truth is, I'm caught in a web of their unspoken understanding, the way Kade's hand rests possessively on Ash's shoulder, the way Ash leans into it, as though he belongs there.

Kade's voice cuts through the tension. "You think you can fight me, Dorian?" he asks, his words like a promise and a threat all in one. "You haven't seen anything yet."

My pulse races. Every part of me wants to push back, to prove that I'm not like them. But there's a part of me that wants to know what it would feel like-what it would feel like to be beneath them, to let go of control for once.

Before I can stop myself, I move closer, my breath coming faster, my heart pounding in my chest. Kade doesn't move. He watches me, waiting, his gaze almost predatory. Ash steps forward, eyes alight with mischief.

"You want this," Ash murmurs, his voice a seductive whisper.

I can't deny it. And when Kade finally steps forward, his body pressing against mine, I know there's no going back.
