Selena’s POVI woke up with my lips still… warm.Like… no. No no no no no.I rolled over and buried my face in the pillow but it didn’t help. The memory was still there, sharp and soft at the same time. His hands on my waist. His lips crushing mine like he owned them. The dark alley. The smell of him. My knees nearly giving out.I groaned into the pillow. My phone buzzed.I didn’t even hesitate. I grabbed it and called Sarah.She answered on the second ring, her voice groggy. “Lena? Girl, it’s like six-thirty, what—”“I kissed him.”There was a pause. Then a gasp so loud I had to yank the phone away from my ear. “YOU WHAT.”I sat up, my hair a mess, my hand trembling just holding the phone. “I kissed him… no. He kissed me. I think. Oh my god. I don’t know.”“WHO. TELL ME WHO BEFORE I DIE.”I bit my lip hard. “Dominic.”Dead silence. Then she screamed. Like, actually screamed. “DOMINIC LAKES?! LIKE… DOMINIC DOMINIC?! THE HOCKEY PLAYER?! THE BAD BOY WHO LOOKS LIKE SIN??”“Yes!” I hissed

Selena’s POVI woke up to the strangest smell.Like clean sheets mixed with something warmer, faintly smoky, faintly like the way the air feels after it rains.I blinked and the ceiling above me wasn’t mine. It wasn’t my soft cream walls or my glow-in-the-dark stars. It was dark wood and some posters on the far side, a hockey stick leaning against the corner.I jolted upright too fast and my head throbbed.“What the hell—”“Relax.”His voice.I froze.Dominic was sitting on the edge of the desk right by the bed. His arms were folded and his eyes were fixed on me, sharp but soft at the same time. He didn’t even flinch when I caught him staring.“You fainted. Again. You’re welcome, by the way.”I swallowed. My throat was dry.“You… brought me here?” I croaked.“No,” he said, then smirked. “A magical fairy picked you up, tucked you in, and I’m just here for the vibes. Of course I brought you here.”I dropped back on the pillow and groaned. “God, you’re so annoying.”“Yeah? You weren’t sa

Dominic’s POVI swear to God, she’s gonna kill me one of these days.I don’t even know what the hell’s wrong with me anymore. I’ve never been this sloppy. Never. Hockey’s the one place I don’t screw up. It’s the one place I can just move and hit and breathe and not think about anything. But ever since she started showing up… hell, even before that, even before she knew my name… she’s been in my head like some damn parasite I can’t get rid of.And there she is now.Right there. On the bleachers.Sitting with her little friend Sara, laughing quietly about something. Her hair falling into her face when she looks down. I can see her lips from here, curved soft and pink, and my chest tightens up like an idiot.I almost drop my stick.“Dominic! Focus!” Coach is barking from the sidelines.I grunt back something that might’ve been a “yeah” but probably wasn’t even a word. My teammates give me weird looks.Pull it together. Pull it the hell together, Lakes. You don’t feel anything. You’ve nev

Selena’s POVWhen I woke up that morning, it was the first time in days I didn’t feel like running.For a few blissful seconds, I just lay there under the covers, staring at the faint light spilling across my ceiling, and thought about the way all Dominic's kisses had felt.God.My cheeks went hot just thinking about it.How his hands had held my face so gently, but his lips had been anything but gentle. How he’d leaned in close and said my name like it mattered.I pressed the back of my hand to my mouth, half to hide my smile even though no one was there to see me.I couldn’t believe it.Dominic.Kissing me. Why did I suddenly have those thoughts?And then walking me all the way home after, like I wasn’t just some stupid girl who got in his way.For once… I didn’t hate mornings.I even took a little extra time brushing my hair, choosing my nicest hoodie, putting on lip balm just in case.I wasn’t sure what we were, but I couldn’t stop thinking about how he’d looked at me last night —
