Unfortunate Mistakes | 18+

"Really?" I practically scoff the words as him, my face twisted into a skeptical expression as I look at him. "Tell me all these things you've noticed about me then."

Dante looks at me blankly, but I've been around him enough to pick up on the tiny flicker of emotion in his dark eyes. He looks as if he's having some sort of inner battle with himself.

I roll my eyes. "Yeah, that's what I-"

"You like to drive down dirt roads with your windows down, cause you like the way the gravel sounds under your tires."

I snap my mouth shut.

"On days when you're feeling more confident, you push your bangs to the sides instead of wearing them in the front. I'm guessing cause it shows more of your face."

I swallow thickly, my eyes dropping to the floor.

"You like it when I'm mean to you, in fact you like it so much it turns you on." His voice isn't cocky or teasing, he simply states it like he would my favorite color.

"Okay that's not-" I start to cut him off.

"I'm not fucking done, don't interrupt me."

And look at that, the room just got 20 degrees hotter. Wow, I hate it when he's right.

He takes a step closer, he eyes trained on me so intensely I feel like he can practically hear everything I'm thinking.

"Do you know what the most important thing about you is though? The one thing that everyone needs to know?" His voice is calm and controlled, his eyes dark and firm as he continues to watch me.

I swallow thickly, shaking my head as I can't seem to tear my eyes away from his green ones. His lips twitch upwards into the smallest smile, and damnit if my heart didn't skip a beat.

"That you're mine."
