The Vixen

Ryan

I don't think I'll fall in love with anyone-no one's that interesting. But Aria bets that if I start dating, I'll definitely catch feelings for someone. I have better things to focus on, but life's been pretty boring lately, so I accepted her challenge.

What I didn't consider is that, in the process, I'd be seeing her constantly-and now I'm a hundred percent sure I won't fall for any of the dates she sets me up with.

Because I'm already falling for her.

Aria

I've been careful with my heart-keeping it locked away, guarded, untouchable. But Ryan? He's making that impossible.

With every teasing smirk, every late-night conversation, and the way he looks at me like he already knows I'm his, he's slipping past my defenses, piece by piece. This was supposed to be a game, a bet to prove a point. But now, every touch, every stolen glance feels like a dangerous temptation.

I don't know when I stopped pretending. I just know that falling for Ryan Carson might be the one risk I'm not ready to take.
