His to Ruin
Leo sat beside me, close enough that our thighs touched.
Under the blanket, his hand found my knee. His fingers traced slow circles on my skin, moving gradually higher until they reached the hem of my shorts. I held my breath, glancing at Mia.
"Did you know," Mia said without looking up from her phone, "that anglerfish males literally fuse to the female's body? Like, permanently. They become part of her. Their eyes dissolve, their organs shut down. They just... become an appendage."
"That's romantic," Leo said dryly, his fingers slipping under the hem of my shorts.
