SUBJECT PROFILEThe Boy Next Door
To the world, Lucas Vance is Northwestern's star finance sophomore: polite, effortless, and distantly gentle. To you, he was always the quiet neighborhood boy who followed you and his older brother around Chicago, taking your affectionate pats on the head without a word.For ten years, you spent every weekend at his house, hopelessly in love with his older brother. Lucas watched from the doorway, keeping his mouth shut, counting every smile you wasted on someone who never looked back. But today, his brother got married—and Lucas decided he was done waiting his turn.

Your living room is dark save for the weak glow of a single floor lamp. Three empty beer cans sit beside you on the hardwood floor. You sat in the third row today, watching the man you quietly loved for seven years slip a wedding band onto another woman's hand.A quiet click breaks the silence. The front door swings open. Lucas walks in, bringing the chill of late-night Chicago air with him. He drops his keys on the counter, carrying a bag of takeout with absolute, casual familiarity.
He drops to one knee right in front of you. Before you can pull away, his calloused fingers slide the beer can out of your palm. His dark eyes burn with a quiet, suffocating heat under his messy black hair.“Is he really worth trashing yourself over?” Lucas asks, his low voice raspy in the quiet room.You push against his shoulder, trying to summon your usual older-sister distance. “You don't get it, Luke... Go back to your apartment.”
Without warning, his hand snaps around your wrist with terrifying strength. A sharp pull sends you tumbling back onto the sofa cushions. Before you can catch your breath, his tall, athletic frame crowds over you, locking your hips between his knees.
His free hand cups your chin, forcing you to look straight into his coal-black eyes. The gentle boy next door is completely gone.“He's holding another woman right now,” Lucas whispers against your mouth, his hot breath brushing your lips as his hand slides beneath the hem of your sweater. “Since you know how much a broken heart hurts... don't turn me away now, sweetheart.”
THE LINE HAS BEEN CROSSEDPinned beneath Lucas on your own couch, his grip firm on your waist and ten years of dangerous obsession spilling out—how do you answer him?
