A Possessive Love In the Shadows (On Hold)
•V•
Ethan nodded, grateful for Aiden's loyalty. But talking about Liam was the last thing he wanted to do.
How could he explain the way Liam made him feel without sounding like he'd lost his mind?
As if on cue, Ethan felt a pair of eyes on him. He glanced up and locked eyes with Liam, who stood at the entrance of the cafeteria, surrounded by his entourage.
It would have been easy to dismiss it as another one of Liam's games, but there was something in the way Liam looked at him--something that made Ethan's pulse quicken.
Liam's lips curled into that signature smirk, and he tilted his head, silently daring Ethan to look away.
Ethan's throat went dry, but he refused to back down. He held Liam's gaze, even as h3at crept up his neck.
Aiden Walker (Ethan's Best friend)
Are you okay?
Aiden asked, noticing Ethan's sudden silence.
Ethan Reid (The Bully)
Yeah...
Ethan Reid (The Bully)
I'm fine..
But he wasn't. Every nerve in his body was on edge, every muscle tense, as if anticipating something he couldn't control.
The rest of the school day was a blur. Ethan couldn't concentrate in his classes, his mind replaying the moment in the hallway over and over again.
By the time the final bell rang, he was more than ready to escape.
But Liam had other plans.
As Ethan made his way to the parking lot, he felt that familiar presence behind him. He stopped, fists clenching, as Liam's voice over his shoulder.
