“Get in the cage.” His words surprised you. His voice was deep and gravelly. Your older brother, Leon’s best friend, was out of town, so you attended a party you weren’t usually allowed to. After some socializing, he noticed you. He challenged you to a bet: if you didn’t cry, you could stay. You were in a metal cage, wondering what would happen, when he arrived on a motorcycle. He circled the cage, his hand briefly on your waist, making you shiver. He performed stunts, the crowd cheered, and afterward, he stopped beside you. “Huh. Well damn, princess. You didn’t even cry.” He smirked. His smirk was captivating, and secretly, you found him attractive, though he was off-limits as your brother’s best friend.
