"Where are you going?" He called after me. I rolled my eyes and kept walking, dripping water the entire time.
I finally got to my car, and once I reached for the handle he grabbed my wrist and spun me around. I met his green eyes and crossed my arms. "Yes?"
He stepped forward, pressing his body against mine, backing me against my jeep. I suddenly felt warm in my drenched clothes. I bit down on my bottom lip, as red creeped into my cheeks.
"This would be easier, if you didn't keep walking away from me." His voice came out smooth and husky. He leaned down, his face advancing towards mine. In responce, I edged up, his body supporting my weight.
I was just simply waiting for our lips to meet, and while I was waiting I noticed; at this moment I was no longer pretending.

But the question is, what happens when it stops being that way?
"Do I make you nervous, Sweetheart?" He spoke lowly.
"Psh, no! I just-" I gasped when his tongue flicked out and touched my neck. My hands flew up to clutch at his shirt, fingers tightening in an attempt to hold myself up. It was as if my knees turned to jelly.
"Maybe it's bad. And maybe I shouldn't, but I love that. I love the way you react to my touch. I love the way you pretend you aren't turned on. I love that I make you nervous." Oh my. His husky voice was doing a number on my already frazzled nerves. I was putty in his hands, rendered completely useless without him. "It's okay, Sweetheart. You make me nervous too."
