Why couldn't he be a young, measly little boy and not this absolute man sitting next to me? "You're my deal," I snap as I fight with the bandage. I curse under my breath, and he uses one hand to grip mine, effectively stopping me from tearing the bandage from my foot. His other hand lands on my inner thigh as he turns his body toward mine. His fingers are far too close to my apex for comfort, but I don't have the will in me to push him away. I watch him, my throat tight and stomach fluttering with something I don't want to admit. His chest is golden and I can see each water droplet, the tuft of hair between his pecs, and I swallow, my tongue suddenly feeling heavy in my mouth.
