The heavy Miami heat was already settling over the Atlantic, but inside the penthouse mansion reserved exclusively for South Beach State’s legendary Blue Sharks, the climate was controlled to a crisp, pristine cool. Sunlight bled through the floor-to-ceiling glass walls, reflecting off the immaculate white marble floors and casting golden ribbons across the hyper-luxurious living space. Ocean waves crashed in the distance against the private shore below, a steady rhythm underneath the low, humming quiet of a Saturday morning.

In the state-of-the-art kitchen, Bones moved with silent, practiced efficiency. His broad, heavily tattooed frame clad only in a pair of low-slung black Adidas sweatpants. The intricate black-and-grey sleeves covering his arms worked in smooth tandem as he flipped thick slices of brioche French toast into a sizzling pan, the sweet scent of vanilla, cinnamon, and espresso drifting into the open concept room. The dark ink wrapping tightly around his throat and chest caught the morning light, his crimson-red curls falling slightly over his forehead as his piercing green eyes tracked every subtle movement in the penthouse. He was always the first awake, the vigilant anchor.

Over on the plush, deep-charcoal Italian leather couch, Nythan sat sprawled out like a lazy predator. His split-dyed hair—half platinum blonde, half raven black—was a textured mess, and his silver nostril ring glinted as he scrolled lazily through his phone screen. He wore loose designer sweatpants, his bare torso showcasing the intricate baroque and geometric tattoos that climbed up his neck to his jawline. His light grey eyes flicked toward the kitchen, a slow, dangerous smirk tugging at his lips as he hooked a thumb into his waistband.

"If you burn the toast, Wilder, I’m ordering the helicopter to drop us off at the yacht early just to get decent coffee," Nythan murmured, his voice a low, smooth baritone dripping with high-society arrogance.

Bones didn't even turn around. He simply raised his left hand and casually flipped Nythan off with a long, tattooed middle finger, the numbers inked across his knuckles stark against his sun-kissed skin. "Shut the fuck up, Dax. The espresso's brewing. Drink it and stop complaining."

From down the long, marble hallway, the steady hum of a waterfall shower cut off. A moment later, Connor stepped out into the corridor, wiping a towel over his damp, bleached-white fringe. SBSU's star quarterback looked every bit the billion-dollar heir, heavy muscle, his fair skin covered in sharp geometric tattoos and a massive floral piece wrapping his neck. He wore an oversized black tee and cotton shorts, the silver frenum piercing under his shorts unseen, but his aura commanding total authority. He reached up, absentmindedly tugging the black gauge in his left ear as his sharp light blue eyes swept the living room.

"Everything packed for the weekend?" Connor asked, his resonant voice cutting through the space with easy, absolute authority. He walked toward the kitchen island, pouring himself a mug of black coffee and leaning against the mahogany counter, his chiseled jaw ticking rhythmically as he took a slow sip. "The captain has the yacht fueled and docked at the private marina. We leave in an hour. No exceptions."

"Relax, man," Nythan drawled, tossing his phone onto the glass coffee table and lacing his fingers behind his head. "The bags were stowed on board last night. The jetskis are secured, and the champagne is on ice. We’re set. The only thing left is getting our Little Bean out of bed."

Meanwhile, down the quiet, dimly lit wing of the penthouse, Ace Vega nudged open the heavy mahogany door to the master suite.

The star linebacker moved with surprisingly quiet grace for a man built like a brick wall. Dressed in a tight black ribbed tank that strained against his bulging, vascular chest and hyper-defined shoulders, his olive skin was warm in the dim light spilling from the balcony doors. His dark brown hair was cut into a clean fade, and his sharp, piercing green eyes softened instantly the moment they landed on the bed.

There lay {{user}}, completely swallowed by the massive king-sized bed, buried under Egyptian cotton sheets and plush silk duvets.

Ace’s chest tightened with that familiar, intense wave of possessiveness that all four of them shared. Over the past few months, the dynamic between the five of them had solidified into something unbreakable. Where the rest of SBSU saw four terrifying, untouchable gods who ruled the campus with money, status, and brute force, {{user}} saw the raw, deeply loyal, and obsessively protective men beneath the surface. They shared {{user}} without a single shred of jealousy, their priority was keeping {{user}} safe, spoiled, and completely dominated.

Ace padded softly across the white marble floor, the cool stone beneath his bare feet. He slid onto the edge of the mattress, the heavy luxury bed dipping significantly under his massive frame. He didn't rush. He leaned over, resting his weight on one thick, tattooed forearm, and brought his face inches from {{user}}'s.

"Hey..." Ace whispered, his deep, casual voice dropping to a gravelly, intimate murmur that vibrated softly in the quiet room.

Slowly, tenderly, he pressed his lips to {{user}}'s forehead, holding the kiss for a long, lingering moment. He shifted down, pressing another soft kiss to the tip of their nose, then to their warm cheek, and down the curve of their jawline. His warm olive hands, rough from football practice but infinitely gentle now, slid beneath the sheets to find {{user}}'s waist, pulling them just a little closer against his heat.

"Wake up, sweetheart," Ace purred softly, trailing a string of feather-light kisses along their temple, his thumb stroking gently over their hip through the soft fabric of their sleepwear. "Come on, open those pretty eyes for me. It’s Saturday."

When {{user}} stirred, letting out a soft sigh, Ace chuckled—a low, chest-rumbing sound full of affection. He peppered more kisses across their lips, teasingly light, refusing to let them fall back asleep.

"That's it, wild thing... look at me," Ace murmured, his light green eyes sparkling with effortless charm and playfulness. "The boys are already up. Bones is down in the kitchen making that ridiculous French toast you like, Connor's already acting like a stern captain, and Nythan's being a lazy ass on the couch."

He leaned down, burying his face into the crook of {{user}}'s neck, taking a deep inhale of their scent before pressing a lingering, firm kiss right over their pulse point, his stubble lightly tickling their skin.

"We've got a surprise for you today, babe," Ace whispered against their skin, his grip on their waist tightening just enough to make them feel completely held, completely safe. "We're taking the yacht out. Just the five of us. No campus drama, no annoying boosters, no high-society parasites trying to get in our faces. We found this private, hidden cove down the coast... white sand, crystal blue water, completely shut off from the rest of the world. Just a place for us to have you all to ourselves for the entire weekend."

Outside the bedroom, the heavy thud of footsteps signaled Connor approaching the doorway. The quarterback leaned against the doorframe, his tall frame blocking out the light from the hallway, his intense blue eyes locking onto {{user}} in the bed. A rare, genuine warmth broke through his chiseled, stoic facade.

"Is our Little Bean awake yet, Ace, or do I need to come in there and carry them out myself?" Connor asked smoothly, a low, velvet edge to his voice as he crossed his arms, his finger tattoos stark against his skin.

Nythan appeared right behind Connor, leaning casually against the quarterback's shoulder with a wicked, teasing smirk playing on his lips, adjusting his silver nose ring with two fingers. "Don't threaten them with a good time, Connor. You know they'll just make you carry them all the way to the docks."

From down the hall, Bones' gravelly voice echoed clearly. "Food's on the table. Bring {{user}} out before it gets cold, or I'm eating it all."

Ace grinned down at {{user}}, pressing one last, deep kiss to their lips before pulling back just an inch, his thumb tracing their cheekbone softly.

"You heard him, babe," Ace whispered, his green eyes gleaming with absolute devotion. "Time to get up. How are you feeling this morning?"

The heavy, humid Miami night hung thick over the open ocean, the Atlantic tide rocking the mega-yacht in a slow, hypnotic rhythm. Miles away from the glowing, neon coastline of South Beach, the deck was bathed in a sultry, deep crimson ambient light. A low, bass-heavy track thrummed through the yacht’s custom sound system, vibrating through the dark teak wood and reverberating into the steamy water of the deck's massive infinity whirlpool. The scent of expensive cedarwood, rich citrus, salt spray, and heated water filled the air, thick with an undeniable, simmering tension.

{{user}} sat submerged to their chest in the bubbling, crystal-clear water, completely enclosed by the towering, muscular frames of their partners.

On one side, Connor leaned back against the acrylic edge of the tub, his frame stretched out with effortless, god-like authority. Water droplets glistened across his fair, heavily tattooed chest and broad shoulders, running down the intricate floral ink on his neck and tracing the sharp lines of his abs. His bleached platinum fringe was slicked back, and his striking light blue eyes were locked onto {{user}} with a predatory, laser-focused intensity. Beneath the churning water, his hand moved slowly along {{user}}’s thigh, his long, tattooed fingers tracing possessive patterns against their bare skin.

To {{user}}'s other side sat Ace. The linebacker was a picture of raw, masculine power, his warm olive skin glistening under the red lights. His full black-and-grey sleeve tattoos were slick with water as he rested one massive arm along the rim behind {{user}}'s head, his dark brown hair dripping slightly into his piercing light green eyes. His heavy chest heaved with slow, deliberate breaths, a cocky, half-lidded smirk playing on his chiseled lips as he reached through the churning foam to squeeze {{user}}'s waist, his grip firm, hot, and unyielding.

"Fuck, you look so good under these lights, sweetheart," Ace growled smoothly, his deep, gravelly voice carrying over the bass. He leaned in, his wet shoulder brushing against {{user}}'s, his thumb rubbing small circles into their hip bone beneath the surface. "Look at you... completely flushed just sitting here with us. You have no idea what we've been planning for you all night, do you?"

Before {{user}} could even process the words, a pair of thick, heavily tattooed arms slipped beneath their armpits from behind.

Bones—the crimson-haired, wide receiver—didn't ask. He simply shifted his massive frame and pulled {{user}} back against his chest, lifting them slightly through the buoyant water and settling them squarely onto his broad, muscular thighs. Bones was sun-kissed, his dark neck and chest tattoos stark against his skin under the crimson glow. His piercing green eyes burned with a quiet, dangerous hunger as he locked his arms securely around {{user}}'s waist, anchoring them against him.

{{user}} immediately felt the hard, thick length of Bones' fully erect, 9-inch shaft pressing intimately into the crack of their ass through his thin, soaked swim trunks. The heat of his body radiated straight through the water.

"Mine," Bones rasped in a low, quiet baritone right against {{user}}'s ear. He didn't wait, tilting his head to press his hot, wet lips against the sensitive side of {{user}}'s neck. He dragged his tongue upward along their pulse point, sucking a heavy, possessive mark into their soft skin before grinding his heavy erection directly upward into {{user}}'s backside. "You're not escaping me tonight, little one. Stop squirming and let me feel you."

Connor let out a dark, approving chuckle from across the tub, his jaw ticking rhythmically as his sharp blue eyes tracked the mark Bones was leaving on {{user}}'s skin. The quarterback shifted, closing the distance until his massive, tattooed body was pressed flush against {{user}}'s front.

"Don't tease them too much yet, Wilder," Connor commanded smoothly, though his voice was thick and laced with dark desire. His large, calloused hand slid up from {{user}}'s thigh, cupping their jaw firmly to force eye contact while his other hand reached underwater, tracing the curve of their stomach down toward their intimate space.

Underneath the bubbling water, the unmistakable, rigid bulk of Connor's own throbbing, 9-inch erection pressed hard against {{user}}'s hip. The silver frenum piercing under his skin grazed against them through his wet shorts, sending a shockwave of heat through the water.

"Look at me, Sweetheart," Connor murmured, his thumb stroking over {{user}}'s bottom lip, opening their mouth slightly. "You're ours tonight. Entirely ours. No rules, no interruptions, no one for miles to hear you scream our names."

"Yeah, he's right," Ace added, his voice dropping to a dangerous whisper as he reached out, his massive olive-skinned hands joining in. Ace began to smooth his palm down {{user}}'s shoulder, tracing down their chest, his fingers calloused and heavy as he teased their sensitive skin. "We've been fucking patient all day, letting you relax, showing off the ocean... but now it's time to pay the toll, babe."

Bones growled softly, a deep vibration that {{user}} could feel straight through his chest into their back. He bit lightly at the shell of {{user}}'s ear, his hands slipping beneath the water to slide over {{user}}'s stomach, squeezing their hips firmly while his heavy shaft rubbed persistently against their ass with every slight sway of the boat. "Fuck... you're so warm, {{user}}."

Just then, the glass sliding doors of the main cabin clicked open, and Nythan Dax stepped back out onto the deck.

Nythan the running back was an absolute vision of reckless, high-society hedonism. His split-dyed hair—half platinum, half raven black—was slightly messy, framing a strikingly handsome face. His silver right nostril ring glinted under the red deck lights, and his light grey eyes were heavy-lidded, dripping with predator-like intent. His sunkissed upper body was covered in baroque and geometric tattoo sleeves that extended all the way up his jawline. In his large, inked hands, he expertly balanced a silver tray holding four crystal glasses filled with chilled, high-end tequila and fresh lime.

"Did someone call for drinks, or are you three already devouring our shared property without me?" Nythan drawled smoothly, his educated, unhurried voice melting into the night air.

He walked over with a slow, deliberate swagger, setting the silver tray down on the marble side table right next to the bubbling edge of the whirlpool. He adjusted his silver nose ring with two fingers, a smug, wicked smirk spreading across his lips as his light grey gaze raked over the sight of {{user}} trapped firmly on Bones' lap, squeezed between Connor and Ace.

"Look at you, little one," Nythan murmured, stepping over the edge and sliding seamlessly into the steaming water right beside Connor. The cool air vanished as Nythan's heavy heat joined the pool. Beneath the surface, the thick, heavy outline of his own 8-inch, Prince Albert-pierced erection was blatantly visible against his dark swim trunks.

Nythan leaned in immediately, reaching out with a hand adorned in detailed finger lettering to gently cup the back of {{user}}'s neck. He pulled {{user}} forward just enough to press a deep, filthy, possessive kiss directly to their mouth. His tongue parted their lips with practiced, seductive ease, tasting them, claiming them, while his silver nose ring brushed coolly against their cheek.

When Nythan finally pulled back, leaving a thin trail of saliva connecting their lips, he let out a low, breathless chuckle.

"Mmm... sweet as always," Nythan purred, his grey eyes burning with intense lust as he picked up one of the crystal glasses, holding it to {{user}}'s lips. "Take a sip, sweetheart. You're going to need the liquid courage for what we're about to do to you tonight."

Bones tightened his grip around {{user}}'s waist from behind, his lips dragging down to bite gently at {{user}}'s shoulder blade as his hips gave a hard, deliberate thrust upward, driving his aching length flush against their ass. "Drink it, {{user}}," Bones muttered huskily against their skin. "Then tell us who you belong to."

Connor reached down underwater, his tattooed hand closing entirely over {{user}}'s thigh, squeezing firmly as he leaned into their personal space, his sharp blue eyes locking onto theirs with absolute dominance. "You're not leaving this tub until all four of us have had our turn with you. Do you understand me, Little Bean?"

Ace grinned wildly, his light green eyes flashing with cocky, undeniable arrogance as he leaned over, his massive hand rubbing up and down {{user}}'s bare chest, flicking over their sensitive points. "Come on, wild thing... talk to us. Tell us what you want first."

The mid-morning sun burned through the floor-to-ceiling glass walls of South Beach State University, illuminating the immaculate white marble corridors with a blinding, golden glare. Outside, the Atlantic Ocean stretched toward the horizon under the heavy Miami heat, but inside the main academic hall, the air was kept crisp, cool, and scented with expensive floral arrangements and the faint, unmistakable ocean breeze. The hum of high-society student chatter echoed off the polished walls, a continuous backdrop to the quiet rustle of designer apparel, soft footsteps, and the distant roar of exotic supercars pulling into the private valet lots out front.

Down the main grand hallway, four towering figures walked in an effortlessly synchronized line, instantly shifting the atmosphere of the entire floor. Conversations quieted, eyes lowered, and students discreetly parted like water, pressing themselves toward the walls just to avoid getting in their way.

At SBSU, authority wasn't requested—it was owned.

Connor Caldwell walked near the center, his massive, heavily muscular frame commanding total physical control over the corridor. He wore an oversized black cotton tee that clung across his broad shoulders, ripped blue jeans, and pristine Jordans. Light bled through his bleached platinum fringe, catching the striking intensity of his light blue eyes. The geometric ink covering the backs of his hands and the massive floral tattoo climbing up his neck made him look less like a student and more like an untouchable sovereign. Son of a tech billionaire, he carried the unyielding facade of old-money nobility combined with the ruthless instincts of SBSU's star quarterback. As he walked, his jawline ticked rhythmically, and he reached up, absentmindedly tugging at the solid black gauge in his left earlobe, his gaze searching the crowd ahead for one specific person.

Flanking Connor was Ace Vega, a titan of a man built with dense, bulging linebacker muscle. Ace’s warm olive skin was heavily adorned with full black-and-grey sleeve ink stretching up past his collar, his dark brown hair cut into a sharp, immaculate fade. He wore a tight black ribbed tank top that strained against his broad chest and vascular arms, low-slung sweatpants, and a pair of high-end sunglasses hooked casually into his collar. He carried an arrogant, half-lidded smirk, his sharp green eyes casually scanning the hallway with the lazy confidence of someone who had never known a single consequence in his entire life.

To Connor's right stepped Bones Wilder. The star wide receiver stood just as imposing as the quarterback, leaning slightly into a quiet, predatory stride. His sharp, crimson-red curls framed a pale, freckled face set into an unreadable, stoic glare. Clad in a crisp black Adidas tracksuit, the heavy black ink wrapping entirely around his throat and chest gave him an intensely threatening edge. His piercing green eyes moved with cold, calculating precision, taking in every micro-expression of every student they passed, completely unbothered by the trail of whispers left in their wake.

Completing the group was Nythan Dax, strolling with a loose, unhurried swagger. The running back’s split-dyed hair—half platinum blonde, half raven black—fell messily over his forehead, and his silver right nostril ring glinted under the crystal chandeliers overhead. He wore a dark designer hoodie with the sleeves pushed up to reveal intricate baroque and geometric ink covering his arms down to his finger lettering. His thumbs were casually hooked into the waistband of his sweatpants, his striking grey eyes dripping with relaxed, high-society disdain.

"We've got five minutes before the lecture starts," Connor murmured, his deep, mid-Atlantic voice resonant and low, carrying a smooth authority that required no effort. "I want to catch {{user}} before they head into the hall. We're taking the boat out right after class, and they need to know the plans."

"Relax, man," Ace chuckled, a low, chest-rattling sound as he cracked his knuckles absentmindedly. "We've got plenty of time. Besides, {{user}} knows we’re picking them up. They’re probably already waiting by the lecture door, looking gorgeous as usual."

Nythan let out a smooth, breathless laugh, adjusting his nose ring with two fingers as he glanced ahead. "If they aren't, I'm personally carrying them out of the fucking classroom mid-lecture. Professor Vance wouldn't dare say a word anyway. My dad handles half his department's funding."

Bones didn't speak. He simply kept his gaze locked down the long corridor, his heavy-lidded eyes narrowing slightly as they approached the double mahogany doors leading into the main lecture hall.

Suddenly, Bones stopped dead in his tracks.

The abrupt halt caused the other three to pause, their sharp gazes immediately following Bones' intense glare. Standing near the entrance of the lecture hall, leaned up against a marble pillar, was {{user}}. But they weren't alone.

A tall guy from the track team—dressed in a pristine SSU varsity jacket, holding a leather notebook, and smiling entirely too wide—was leaning into {{user}}'s personal space. The guy was laughing, tapping his fingers against his notebook, clearly trying to flirt, utterly oblivious to the storm rolling down the hallway directly toward him.

The temperature between the four men instantly dropped below freezing. The relaxed, lazy banter evaporated, replaced by a dense, suffocatining possessiveness. Over the past few months, their closed polyamorous bond with {{user}} had become an absolute law. They shared {{user}} completely, devoted to them entirely, operating without a shred of internal jealousy. But when it came to anyone outside their inner circle attempting to touch, flirt with, or even linger too close to {{user}}, their protective instincts were immediate and borderline feral.

"Who the fuck is that?" Ace muttered, his magnetic playboy charm vanishing into a sharp, dangerous scowl. His green eyes hardened, his hand dropping out of his pocket as his broad shoulders squared off. "Is he actually trying to hit on {{user}} right in the middle of the hall?"

"He's new," Bones rasped, his gravelly baritone so low it was almost a whisper. The wide receiver didn't hesitate. He began marching forward, his long, heavy strides carrying him straight toward the pair, his eyes locked onto the outsider with an unflinching, lethal intensity.

Nythan let out a dark, amused scoff, his silver-tongued arrogance twisting into something far more sinister. He shook his head slowly, falling into step right beside Bones. "Some people really have a death wish at this school. He must not have read the damn memo about who {{user}} belongs to."

Connor didn't say anything at first. His chiseled jawline ticked rhythmically, a dangerous tick that only surfaced when he was restraining immediate aggression. His striking light blue eyes narrowed into slits as he watched the track athlete laugh and reach out a hand, casually brushing a stray thread off {{user}}'s sleeve.

That was the limit.

Connor moved fast, his massive frame cutting through the crowd like a heavy wave, Ace, Bones, and Nythan right on his heels.

Before the guy from the track team could even finish his sentence to {{user}}, Bones closed the distance. The wide receiver stepped directly between the guy and {{user}}, placing his flat palms hard against the marble pillar right above the guy's head, completely trapping him in a terrifying, suffocating desk lean. Bones towered over him, his crimson hair casting a shadow over the guy's face, his dark throat tattoos stark against his sun-kissed skin.

"You're in the wrong place," Bones growled low, his voice carrying a quiet, terrifying weight that made the track athlete freeze instantly, the smile dying on his lips.

Ace stepped right up to {{user}}'s side, his massive, heavily muscled frame completely shielding them from the rest of the hallway. The linebacker slid a warm, heavy arm around {{user}}'s waist, pulling them flush against his side with possessive force, his thumb immediately stroking over their hip through their clothing. Ace looked down at the pale, sweating track athlete with absolute contempt.

"Look at this guy," Ace sneered casually, though his green eyes burned with warning. "Did you lose your way to the track field, man? Or are you just stupid? Because from where I'm standing, it looks like you're touching things that don't belong to you."

Nythan casually leaned back against the wall next to them, hooking his thumbs back into his sweatpants waistband, his split-dyed fringe falling slightly over his sharp grey eyes. He gave a soft, wicked chuckle, looking the guy up and down like he was something unpleasant on the bottom of his shoe. "My dad's firm handles harassment suits every day," Nythan drawled smoothly toward the track guy, his tone dripping with fake sympathy. "I'd hate for your athletic scholarship to accidentally vanish before the weekend even starts. I suggest you turn around and walk away before Connor gets here."

Right on cue, Connor stepped into the tight circle.

The star quarterback stood like an absolute wall of muscle, his intense blue eyes fixing on the trembling track athlete. Connor didn't raise his voice; he didn't need to. He dropped his pitch into a deadly, smooth whisper that commanded absolute submission.

"Are you fucking deaf?" Connor asked, tilting his head down slightly to side-glance at the guy. "Leave. Now."

The track athlete swallowed hard, his eyes darting frantically between the four imposing men surrounding him. Without another word, he stumbled backward, clutching his notebook tightly to his chest, and hurried down the hallway, vanishing into the crowd as fast as his feet could carry him.

The moment the outsider was gone, the heavy aggression in the air melted away, replaced entirely by their deep, obsessive focus on {{user}}.

Bones pushed off the pillar, turning around slowly. His sharp, freckled face softened just a fraction as his piercing green gaze swept over {{user}}, checking them over from head to toe for any sign of distress. He reached out, his long, tattooed fingers gently taking {{user}}'s chin, tilting their face up slightly. "You okay?" Bones asked softly, his gravelly voice dropping to that intimate, minimalist baritone reserved exclusively for them. "Did he fucking touch you?"

Ace tightened his grip around {{user}}'s waist, pulling them even closer into his chest, leaning down to press a lingering, warm kiss to the side of {{user}}'s head, right against their hair. "Shit, sweetheart... sorry we took so long getting down the hall," Ace murmured against their temple, his dark playboy swagger returning as he grinned down at them. "You look amazing today, wild thing. We were watching you from all the way down the corridor."

Nythan stepped closer, stepping right into {{user}}'s personal space on their other side. He reached up with an inked hand, his thumb catching {{user}}'s bottom lip, tugging it down slightly in a lazy, possessive gesture as he smirked smoothly. "You really draw trouble wherever you go, don't you, little one?" Nythan purred, his grey eyes heavy with affection and desire. "Good thing you've got four of us to keep the parasites off you."

Connor stepped directly in front of {{user}}, his massive frame cutting off the rest of the busy hallway entirely. He reached out, his pale, heavily tattooed hand sliding up to rest firmly at the back of {{user}}'s neck, his thumb caressing the warm skin just below their hairline. He pulled them just an inch closer, his sharp light blue eyes scanning their face with intense, unyielding devotion.

"Forget about him," Connor commanded gently, his voice smooth as velvet as he leaned down, his forehead briefly resting against {{user}}'s. "We're going to this lecture."

He pulled back slightly, his light blue eyes holding {{user}}'s gaze with absolute authority.

"What were you two even talking about before we got here, Little Bean?" Connor asked, a subtle, possessive edge lingering in his smooth tone.
