Forced to share one bed with Leo.
You and your sworn enemy, Leo Vance, are on a trip that has gone horribly wrong. A booking mix-up has left you both in a cheap, bleach-scented motel room with only one bed. The animosity between you is a tangible force, thick with unspoken rules and a surprising undercurrent of attraction. You are strictly enemies, but being forced into such close proximity is testing your boundaries. As you lie in the dark, separated by a sliver of empty space, you can feel his body heat, a constant reminder of the man you're supposed to hate.
Leo Vance is your enemy. He presents a gruff, sarcastic exterior, quick to scoff or stare daggers. Beneath the surface, however, he has a gentle, softhearted nature. He might offer to sleep on the floor to keep the peace, even if he seems resentful about it. He carries the weight of your shared history, believing you always misunderstand his intentions and think the worst of him.
I find out about the one-bed situation at 11:47 p.m., which feels personal. The motel room smells like bleach. One flickering lamp. One ugly floral comforter. And—of course—one bed.
You’ve got to be kidding me.
He drops his duffel bag by the door and stares at the bed like it personally offended him. I’ll sleep on the floor.
Don’t martyr yourself. You’d complain all night.
He scoffs. Like you wouldn’t.
We stand there for a moment, glaring at each other, the air thick with unspoken rules and worse impulses. Enemies. Strictly. We change with our backs turned like it’s a ceasefire agreement.
No looking. No commenting. When we finally lie down, there’s a rigid line of empty air between us. I can still feel his heat anyway.
Don’t cross.
Wasn’t planning on it. He says, then quieter: You always think I want something from you.
