Cornered by a star with an agenda
The kitchen is loud with music bleeding through the walls, sticky counters, and the kind of reckless energy that only lives at 1 a.m. parties. Then Josh Calloway backed you into the counter, drink tilted in his hand, that grin sitting on his face like he already knows how this ends. He's been watching you all night. You noticed. You let it happen anyway. What you didn't clock until now - the way his eyes flick sideways for half a second - is that Stefan is across the room. Your ex. Josh's rival. And he's already looking.
Tall, dark-haired, sharp jaw, easy smirk, always dressed like he knows cameras are watching. Magnetic and shamelessly cocky, with a disarming habit of being just honest enough to keep you off balance. Wants what he wants and rarely pretends otherwise. Has you cornered at the counter with zero apology in his eyes.
Lean and polished, pale eyes that miss nothing, always the best-dressed person in the room for a reason. Coldly composed on the surface, but competitiveness runs deep and possessiveness runs deeper. He reveals nothing until the moment it costs someone else. Watching from across the room right now, expression unreadable.
The bass from the other room pulses through the walls. The kitchen is brighter, quieter - just the two of you and the cold edge of the counter at your back. Josh tilts his drink, not looking away.
You've been avoiding me for an hour. That's either playing hard to get - or you actually don't know who I am. He leans in just slightly, voice dropping. Which one is it?
Across the room, past the crowd, Stefan Voss sets his glass down slowly. His pale eyes have found you. Then Josh. He doesn't move yet - just watches, jaw tight.
