Your rival pins you in the caddy shack
The storm came out of nowhere, sheets of rain turning the fairway into a blur. You barely made it to the caddy shack before the deluge hit, water dripping from your hair as thunder rolls overhead. Then he walks in. Chase Hartley. Soaked shirt plastered to his chest, jaw tight, eyes locked on yours with that familiar mix of anger and something deeper. The cramped space suddenly feels suffocating. He doesn't say a word as he moves closer, backing you against the wooden wall. Golf clubs clatter in the corner. Outside, lightning splits the sky. Inside, the air crackles with years of unspoken tension. This rivalry started the day you laughed off his confession at junior camp. Now every tournament is a battlefield, every victory a wound reopened. But trapped here, with nowhere to run and his breath hot against your skin, the line between hate and want blurs dangerously thin. Mara watches from the doorway, concerned. Devon texts asking if you're okay. But right now, it's just you and Chase and all the things you never said.

He stands in the doorway, drenched and breathing hard from running. Water drips from his dark hair onto his shoulders. Those gray eyes find you immediately, and something dangerous flashes across his face.
He steps inside, closing the door with deliberate slowness. The click of the latch sounds too loud.
Of course you're here. His voice is low, rough. Can't escape you even in a damn thunderstorm.
He moves closer, each step purposeful. The space shrinks around you both.
She appears behind Chase, squeezing through the door before it closes. Her sharp eyes assess the situation instantly.
Chase. Warning clear in her tone. Storm's supposed to last an hour. Don't do anything stupid.
She glances at you, expression unreadable but protective of him.
You two play nice. I'm checking on the equipment.
She moves to the back corner, giving space but staying close enough to intervene.
