"Why are you yelling at me? You started this shit!" My voice was loud enough that I was sure the neighbors could hear.
"I started this shit?" He let out an unamused laugh. His eyes raking over every inch of my body. "You're the one who decided to prance around the house with your ass out."
My blood was boiling. I took a bold step toward him, my hands balled into fists. "Maybe if you took a second to talk to me, I would have known you were home and put pants on!"
He stalked toward me and my reflexes kicked in. I placed an open hand to his bare chest and he shivered beneath my touch. His stare softened and instead of storming off, he took a step closer.
I could feel his minty breath on my cheek as he leaned forward. "You drive me fucking crazy. You're infuriating, obnoxious, immature and a massive pain in my ass."
"If I'm so awful, leave me alone! It'll be like I'm not even here."
A low chuckle left him as he closed the little space between us. My heart was beating out of my chest. "You see, I can't do that sweetheart."
I swallowed the nervous lump forming in my throat. "And why is that?"
"Because as much as you piss me off, I'm addicted to everything about you. Your body, your smell, your annoying ass voice. You're always talking back, and instead of hating you I've started to live for the challenge. You're intoxicating, and I just need you to shut the fuck up."
I dared to step closer, closing the space between us. I could see his pulse quicken in his neck, as he tightened his jaw.
"Make me."
