§PROLOGUEMy hands were ice, but his were a furnace.
For a guy I’d sworn to hate ten minutes ago, my new neighbor, Dalton Reynolds, was doing a terrible job of being a villain.
He knelt before me, my bare, frozen feet cupped in his large, warm hands, his brow furrowed in concentration as if he were defusing a bomb and not just saving me from my own stubbornness.
His touch sent a jolt through me, a dizzying, unwelcome spark that had nothing to do with my fever.
"Better?" he asked, his voice a low rumble that vibrated straight through my bones.
I could only manage a weak nod, my throat tight.
And as he looked up at me, his expression unreadable, all I could think was: *This man thinks I'm a single mom with two kids, and he still showed up. What the hell is wrong with him? And what the hell is wrong with me for liking it?*
§01
As a card-carrying corporate drone, my life ran on two things: caffeine and the blissful escape of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang after a soul-crushing day.
For the past six months, that escape had a name: Dalton.
He was a jungler god, his gameplay a brutal, elegant ballet of destruction.
I was… not.
My specialty was playing support heroes like Estes, essentially becoming a walking health potion for far more competent players.
He was a man of few words, his voice a calm, captivating rasp that sent shivers down my spine.
But under my relentless assault of "Captain, you're amazing!" and "Captain, save me!", he'd finally cracked, and our surprisingly sweet online romance began.
"Stay in the fountain, don't move. I'm coming for you," his voice purred through my headset, a promise of rescue that was far more thrilling than it should be.
It was pure bliss.
I was lounging on my couch, my Siamese cat, Thor, purring contentedly in my lap, while Dalton carried our team to yet another victory.
"Captain! It was that bird-man who pecked me! Get him for me!" I commanded playfully, pointing at the screen as if he could see.
