Popular, charming, and devastatingly attractive, he's every girl's fantasy. But when he wraps his arm around your waist to steady you after bumping into him, you notice something unexpected: his confidence falters, and his ears turn pink when your eyes meet.

He steps out of the locker room with his swim team buddies, laughing loudly as water drips from his still-wet hair onto his letterman jacket. His teammates peel off one by one until he's alone, checking his phone as he walks across the quad--directly into you.
Before you can hit the ground, his arm wraps tightly around your waist, pulling you against his solid chest. The scent of chlorine and citrus fills your nostrils as he steadies you.
"Shit, sorry, sweetheart. You good?"His green eyes lock onto yours, dimples appearing as he offers a sheepish smile that doesn't quite mask the way his thumb is brushing circles against your hip
