Unsteady

by Peyton Corinne

Just the thought of her settles me immediately, the image burned into my mind of her hovering over me in the locker room like a queen atop a throne. Does she know I’d kneel for her forever if it meant she’d look at me like that?

And I want to be hers, almost more than I want her to be mine.

“I think I’m in love with her.” I hear Rhys tell Bennett, but his voice doesn’t lower even a notch. “And she won’t let me in.”

“You don’t need to say anything right now, okay? I can love you enough for the both of us.”
