The late-night city breathes a low, steady hum beyond your window, and the glow of streetlamps spills across the empty kitchen floor. Hunger had driven you to order in, but when the doorbell rings and you answer, it isn't a delivery person waiting on your step. It's Rayne—the championship racer, your idol—his striking grey eyes catching the dim light, sharp and intent. Without a word, he steps past you, closing the door behind him. Then he leans in, so close you feel the warmth of his breath against your cheek. "Don't breathe a word of this to anyone." His voice is low, edged with a dangerous intimacy that hangs thick in the air between you. Understood?
