It's okay to want this, right? It's perfectly normal. What girl wouldn't?

"No."

I'm stunned into silenced as his breath continues to fan the few tendrils that frame my face. Did he just...?

If he doesn't want me then why is he looking at me like that? The better question is, what am I still doing here, so close to him?

I place my hands on his abdomen making his breath catch and his eyes dilate to look more black than green. Well, fuck. I don't know how I'm meant to find the strength to step away when he's boring holes into me, but I need to.

"Fine. Your loss."

"Is it?" he smirks.

"You'll regret it too."

Just as I pull away, I trip over his feet. Aden instantly bursts into laughter.

"I promise you." I assure him, edging away, only for him to ease me backwards, against the wall.

"Stay a little longer then."

I stare up at him entranced as his forearm goes above my head and his eyes sparkle into view

"Sorry. Offer's off the table." I mumble, only slightly hoping to deter him.

"No problem. I'm quite happy to watch you go scarlet."

"I'm not-" I gulp. "I'm anxious."

I'm not even sure of what I'm saying anymore. All I know is that his thumb is caressing my bottom lip, threatening to render me a bumbling mess. Why is his touch so delicious? Holy fuck. I don't recall ever having my senses so heightened.

"Dilated pupils..." His fingers tap the tight knot at the base of the back of my ear. "Shallow breath..." His palm settles on my cheek. "And trembling? All very sexy by the way."

I gasp as his pinkie zings past my top lip.

"This can't be that funny a second time."

"Well..." his gaze is smouldering. "Not everything is about you. Maybe I'm turned on too."
