LOGINHis hands pinned her wrists against the library shelves as passion overtook them. “Say it,” Wesley whispered fiercely. “Tell me you’re mine, Samantha.” She wanted to resist him. She needed to.

The wooden table in the living room was covered with magazines, printed photos, and a large notebook where Wesley had started sketching ideas in his surprisingly neat handwriting. A half-drunk bottle of wine sat beside a plate of strawberries we had picked from the local farm that morning. The late afternoon sun streamed through the wide windows, painting everything in warm gold. I sat cross-legged on the couch in one of Wesley’s old t-shirts, my laptop open to a wedding planning website. My curls were tied back in a messy bun, and I had a pen tucked behind my ear. Wesley lounged beside me, his long legs stretched out, wearing only low-slung shorts. His hand rested on my thigh, thumb tracing lazy circles that kept sending little sparks through me. “So the venue,” I said, scrolling through photos of small lakeside chapels. “Something intimate. Maybe right here
SAMANTHA’S POV The small cottage on the outskirts of Manchester smelled of fresh pine and the faint salt of the nearby lake. It was the kind of place people rented for quiet weekends, wooden beams, wide windows overlooking the water, a big stone fireplace that Wesley had already lit even though the summer evening was mild. We had driven here straight after the final board confirmation, suitcases thrown in the back of his old car, the radio playing low as we left the campus behind for the first time in months. I stood on the porch now, barefoot, a thin summer dress clinging to my skin from the humidity. The sun was setting over the lake, painting everything in soft oranges and pinks. Inside, Wesley was cooking something simple, grilled fish and vegetables, the same recipe he had perfected in his tiny flat kitchen during those stolen nights when the world felt like it was closing in. It had been three months since the board lifted my probation for good. Three months since my parent
SAMANTHA’S POVThe final board review room smelled of old paper and nervous sweat. I sat at the center of the long table, my hands folded so tightly my knuckles ached. Dr. Patel sat to my left with a thick folder, Professor Hargrove at the head, and two other board members flipping through documents. My parents were on the video screen from London, their faces tight with exhaustion and disappointment. Wesley waited outside the door, as close as the board would allow.“Miss Williams,” Professor Hargrove began, his voice heavy, “this is your final probation evaluation. Your grades have held, which is commendable given the circumstances. However, the board has received continued reports of private meetings, late-night activity, and public appearances with Mr Adams. The formal event photos, the championship game sightings, the anonymous tips, all of this has strained the university’s patience. We need to hear from you directly before we make our decision.”I took a deep breath, my voice s
WESLEY’S POVThe athletic department conference room smelled of stale coffee and polished oak, the kind of sterile scent that made my stomach turn. I sat alone at the long table, my hands clasped so tightly my knuckles were white. The scholarship review committee, Coach, the athletic director, and two academic advisors, stared at me from across the table like I was a problem to be solved. The folder in front of them was thick with reports: missed team meetings, the leaked videos, the formal event photos, the anonymous tips about late-night activity.“Mr Adams,” the athletic director began, tapping the folder, “your on-court stats in the rematch were solid. MVP performance helped. However, the off-court issues, the leaked material involving Miss Williams, the formal event photos, multiple anonymous reports of late-night activity, have raised red flags. Your GPA is barely above the minimum. One more incident and your scholarship is terminated. Do you understand the gravity of this situa
SAMANTHA’S POV“Let’s just get this over with,” I said, dropping my notebook on the table in study room B3.The small room felt too cramped already. Two other group members, Mia and Jordan, sat on one side scrolling through their phones. Donald gave me a reassuring nod from across the table. And th
WESLEY’S POV“Pass the ball, Adams! What the hell was that?”Coach’s shout echoed across the court as the ball flew out of bounds again. I wiped sweat from my face and jogged back into position, but my head wasn’t in the game. It was on Samantha. That text she sent last night telling me to stay awa
SAMANTHA’S POV“I cannot believe he actually said that to me,” I burst out, slamming my bag onto my bed.Angelina looked up from painting her nails a bright red, one eyebrow raised. Her dyed red hair was piled on top of her head in a messy bun. “Who? And why do you look like you just ran a marathon
WESLEY’S POV“Damn, that girl has fire.”I watched Samantha storm down the library aisle, her curly hair bouncing with every angry step. My mouth still curved up even though she had just torn into me like I was nothing. Most girls smiled, flirted, or at least pretended to like me. But it wasn’t the
