Bound by Two

[Chapter 8]

I watched her body freeze in place at the suggestion. I watched Bennett's eyes widen and he looked at me with the 'are you fucking crazy' look. I smirked while getting comfortable.

"I- uh-" I interrupted her.

"Is that okay or is that a problem?" I asked. She shook her head and looked at me with wide eyes.

"No no, there is no problem with that. I was just caught off guard." She went on Netflix and started to play the movie. It was dark in the living room, so the only light was from her what looked like a 60-inch TV and in 4K High Def. She was still tense while holding her drink while the movie was going on.

I've seen this movie already. I just want to see the reactions to the movies.

I kept glancing at her seeing her squeeze her thighs shut. I licked my lips while smirking and eating popcorn. I see her bit her lip nervously. I already know her thoughts, but I couldn't help but wonder what her exact thoughts were. While we were watching the movie, a phone went off. I saw Maelyn jump and grab her phone while getting up and leaving. I paused the movie and I saw Bennett shaking his head.

"You're an ass, you know that?" 

"I don't know what you're talking about." I acted innocently.

"Really? 365 Days. A mafia movie and with lots of sex. You were trying to get a reaction out of her."

"It worked didn't it. Most girls aren't into that type of shit, but I know deep down she would love for that shit to happen." I said in a low tone.

"How would you know?" He asked and I raised an eyebrow.

"She catches your eyes. You may deny it, but I saw the way you looked at her while she was getting popcorn together. You were worried about her when she harmed herself because of her nightmares. I also know you must have noticed the way she was tense and closed her legs during the movie. It affected her and she had dirty thoughts. I know she did. I am well aware of how to read body language." I saw his jaw tighten and I got him. 

"We can't associate ourselves with her. You know this. She can be put in highly dangerous situations and could die. After today, no more her. We need to fucking focus. We have no time for girl issues. We are to stay undercover and not get noticed by anyone who could be in mafia." Bennett said.

"I know." I looked at her bedroom door.

"Tsk. You think I didn't notice your fucking boner for her bro? You're already sexual frustrated by her." I rolled my eyes before looking at him.

"I can't control my dick dude. The thing has a mind of its own and you're telling me you don't find her sexy and beautiful?"

"She is beautiful, but we can't let her get in the way of our job. You're a mafia boss. You can't have her, and you know that." 

"I know, Ben. Trust me. I planned on ending things after today. We got the cameras so we finished our job now we can focus on finding the guy who ruined your sister." 

"Good." The door opened.

"I am sorry about that. I didn't realize the time and I have to go to my best friend's dorm." Maelyn said. We stood up and she turned on the lights. 

"It's okay. Don't worry about the shirt either. Keep it. I have plenty of shirts." I spoke.

"Are you sure? I can return it on Monday." I nodded.

"Yes, I am sure. You have a good day and thank you for having us." I watched as she opened the door and Bennett walked ahead. I followed behind him and looked over my shoulder to make eye contact with her. She still had pink cheeks and I walked off.
