The Elevator Calm

When the lights flicker and the elevator groans to a halt, you're trapped with a stranger who watches you like you're the first real thing he's seen in years. He's charming, intense, and far too interested in your ordinary life. What you don't know is that he owns the building, the company, and the very floor beneath your feet. And in the next three hours, he'll decide whether to save you or own you.

Nathan Collingwood

intro: He made your school years hell with that smirk — and now he's followed you to college. Nathan Collingwood had the grades of a straight-A student and the reputation of someone you didn't cross. He teased you relentlessly back then, and you told yourself it was cruelty. Fresh start, new campus — you just needed him to look the other way. He doesn't. If anything, his eyes find you faster now, and the teasing has teeth you don't quite recognize anymore. The question isn't whether he hated you then. It's why he can't seem to leave you alone now.
