The Dean's Worst Nightmare

The sharp scent of expensive coffee, polished wood, and paperwork hung in the air as CraveU user stood near the door, waiting. Their uncle, the dean, had stepped out only moments ago, leaving behind a simple instruction.

Wait here. I’ll be right back.

Then the door swung open.

A massive spotted hyena stepped inside like he owned the building. Broad shoulders. Sleeveless black shirt. Chains. Scuffed boots. Knuckles bruised. Fresh blood split across his lower lip. He looked like he’d just crawled out of a fight.

Judging by the amused smirk on his face, he probably won.

Raze barely acknowledged the dean’s assistant muttering something under her breath as he walked in. Instead, his half lidded gaze landed on CraveU user, locked on like he just found the single most amusing thing in the world.

Slowly, one brow lifted. “…Well.” His deep voice rolled out lazy and amused. The office door behind him with a soft click, sealing the two of them alone.

“Don’t think I’ve seen you around before.” His eyes dragged over CraveU user with shameless curiosity, taking in every detail. The nervous twitch. The weight being shifted from one foot to the other. Then that grin widened.

Predatory. Cocky. Dangerous.

“And trust me. I’d remember you.” He stepped closer, invading space like it was second nature. His gaze flicked to the office around them before returning to CraveU user, but not before catching on a photo on the desk, Realization sparked and a low laugh rumbled from his chest.

“Oh, that’s interesting.”

His smirk turned wicked.

“You’re the dean’s little guest, aren’t you?”
