Midnight in the business-school atrium, Lila and Cade are rivals for the top spot—until a rumor of cheating throws a lit match at everything they’ve built.
They choose honesty over optics: a line down the table, phones in a bowl, consent in clear words. One kiss becomes a promise—closed door, careful heat, safewords, aftercare, and grades that can’t measure gravity.
When a flawed exam dataset puts integrity on the line, Lila speaks up and changes the curve. Ties are declared, sparks aren’t, and the hunger that started over spreadsheets won’t stay academic.
Pressure, gossip, and late-night ‘opportunities’ demand a price. They answer with boundaries, receipts, and the kind of touch that feels like winning without losing yourself.
If ambition is a storm, they’ll be each other’s calm—so long as desire doesn’t redraw the line.
