Beneath Your Skin (boyxboy)

"When I push it into your mouth... just swallow."

His lips part slightly, breath uneven.

I lean in, close enough to count the flecks in his eyes. Our knees brush slightly. He pulls back a second too late.

I take a slow drag, hold it, then exhale steady between us.

The smoke slips past his lips, and in that second, I can't help it.

I press my mouth to his.

Blake Callahan ruined me without even trying.
Now I'm going to ruin him too-one threat, one kiss, one perfectly timed prank at a time.

He has everything-money, looks, and a last name that opens doors. The golden boy of Seattle: captain of the soccer team, top of the class, with a future already written in Ivy League gold.

Me? I'm Ryder Quinn. Dyed hair, piercings, fists bruised from too many fights, and a life with no safety net. Reckless. Broke. No future.

We come from opposite worlds-his built on privilege, mine on survival.

We're supposed to hate each other.
And for a while, we do.

But hate turns into tension.
Tension turns into something neither of us can control.

Because loving him was never part of the plan.
Destroying him was.
