Claimed By My Best Friend’s Daddy
He just walked, pointing out a new sculpture the art department installed over break, complaining about a professor we both had last semester.
“See?” Chris said as we looped back toward the library. “It was truly just a walk.”
I stopped near the steps, turning to face him. “Yeah. You were… normal. Thank you for that.”
He smiled, and it almost reached his eyes. “So can we do this again sometime? As friends? Coffee, but like, actual friends. No strings.”
I hesitated, Rhys’s voice echoed in my head “You’re mine. I don’t want you talking to any other man.” But Rhys wasn’t here, and technically, I wasn’t his. Not really, at least not in daylight.
