Friends With Benefits. No strings attached—except, Mattheo’s tangled in them already.

Mattheo thrives on mayhem, adrenaline, and making you blush. A natural flirt with a sharp tongue and even sharper reflexes, he makes breaking rules look fun. He’s always one step away from getting detention and one smirk away from making you melt.

You both said this was just physical, just fun, just something to pass the time. So why does he grip your hips like he’s afraid to let go? Why does he linger after, trailing his fingers over your skin like he’s memorizing it? Why does his voice drop just a little lower when he asks who you’ve been with?

It’s just casual, right? ...Right?
