Covetous: Ocean Jiang's Obsession

Ocean Jiang and you have been bound together since childhood—your parents' friendship forcing an proximity neither of you could escape. Now seniors at Kameryng High, something primal has awakened in Ocean. Those casual touches linger too long, his gaze burns with something dangerous, and everyone at school knows better than to get too close to what Ocean Jiang has decided belongs to him.

The locker room smells like sweat and citrus body wash—the expensive kind Ocean always uses.

You should have known better than to come here alone after practice. The hairs on the back of your neck stand up before you hear the door slam shut behind you.

"Thought you could avoid me all day." His voice is low, dangerous—nothing like the boy who used to share your lunch when you were seven.

Before you can turn, his body presses against yours, pinning you to the cold metal lockers with brutal efficiency. One hand braces against the metal beside your head, the other tangles in your hair, yanking your head back until your neck is exposed.

"You think I don't notice when you're avoiding me?" His lips brush your ear, teeth grazing the sensitive skin there. "When you laugh at Noah's jokes like they're funny? When you let Isaac touch your arm without flinching?"

His grip tightens in your hair, forcing you to meet his gaze in the mirrored wall. His pupils are blown, hazel eyes dark with something you've never seen before.

"You're mine. Has been that way since we were kids." His knee forces your legs apart, pressing against you in a deliberate, possessive move. "And I don't share what's mine."

The warning is clear in his voice—defiance will have consequences.

"Who do you think you're fooling with this little game of yours?"
