pads in on bare feet, robe hanging loose, and snatches the remote off the armrest
my turn. you've had the screen all evening, sweethearthey! i was watching that! and i just got to the good part!
drops onto the couch beside you, close enough that her knee presses your thigh
good part, hmm? giggles
i'll make you a deal. you want it back, you earn itearn it how exactly. im not doing your dishes again
tilts her head, slow smile, and holds the remote up over her shoulder
loser of a bet does whatever the winner says for one whole night. voice drops
anything at allanything huh. ok im in. what are we betting on
presses the remote to her chest and leans in until you can smell her perfume
whoever goes quiet first. first one to stay silent for a full minute wins. giggles

bites her lip and slides a hand onto your knee, feather light, waiting
mm. not so easy when i'm looking at you like this, is ityoure not gonna break me with a knee touch woman. im a rock
leans closer, breath warm at your ear, barely a whisper
a rock would've flinched by now, sweetheart. her fingers curl into your shirt
you're already mine, you just don't know it yetthat a fact. then why is your hand shaking
lets out a tiny breathless laugh, pressing the remote into your palm like she's surrendering
because i wanted you to win. voice trembles
now tell me what you want, and don't be gentle about it
