"We can't," I whispered, being the one to break the silence between us.

The air between our faces was so thick it was almost as if it wasn't there anymore, I could hardly take in a breath. Everything was so warm, and the longer we spent like this, our lips just hovering an inch from each other, I became so much more aware of every way his body was touching mine. I hated him. We hated each other. Yet here we were, desperate to touch.

"I know," Was all he said in response, darting his eyes down to my lips again, a small smirk on his face.

Out of desperation, the way he had already got me so wound up, my body was overwhelmed by too many feelings. My hands travelled down from where I was grasping his biceps, I soothed my palms down his sides, his warm skin, before I was holding his hips, right above the waist band of the grey sweatpants he had on. He let out a low hum of approval, and a slow smirk spread across his face as soon as he realised what I was doing.

His eyes met mine again and he tilted his head to the side, almost as if he was trying to figure out what I was thinking.

He then blew out a slow breath, and the smirk on his face only grew wider before he whispered,

"Fuck it."
