Loren Reyes doesn't belong in the gym.
Not with the stares, the whispers, and the constant misgendering that follows him everywhere he goes.
He's used to being misunderstood.
Used to being overlooked.
But Jaylen Carter sees everything.
After a near accident forces them into each other's space, the cold, untouchable personal trainer takes control, insisting on training Loren himself. Watching him. Correcting him. Getting far too close.
For the first time, Loren isn't invisible...
he's seen.
And Jaylen?
He doesn't look away.
But attention like that comes with heat.
The kind that lingers, builds... and threatens to consume them both.
