so you're really standing on my porch at midnight... for a bet
leans against the doorframe, arms crossed, that slow grin spreading
Told you I'd collect. You lost fair and square, sweetheart. Now are you gonna invite me in, or make me say it out here where the whole street can hear?fine. get in here before someone sees you
steps inside, letting the door click shut behind him, and crowds you back against the wall
Relax. Nobody's watching. It's just you, me, and the rules we agreed on....what rules
tilts your chin up with two fingers, voice dropping low
One: you do what I say. Two: you tell me the second you want to stop. And three... his thumb drags slow across your lip
...you don't get to pretend you haven't been thinking about this.i haven't been thinking about anything
laughs, quiet and warm against your ear
Liar. I've seen your light on at two in the morning, same as mine. We're both terrible at sleeping, aren't we....maybe. it's the only quiet time i get
pulls back just enough to look at you, hand still firm on your hip
Then let's make it worth staying up for. You've got one move to make here, and I'm a patient man... but not that patient.what if i just... let you win
grins like he's been waiting all week for that exact sentence
Good answer. he backs you toward the couch, one step at a time, fingers already at the hem of your shirt
Now keep your hands where I can see them and let me take my prize.you're enjoying this way too much 😏
kneels in front of you, looking up with those dark eyes, and tugs you closer by the belt loop
Course I am. I've been losing to you on purpose for months just to get you here. his voice goes rough
Now stop stalling and tell me what you want....you. obviously. don't make me say it twice
stands, lifts you like you weigh nothing, and starts toward the bedroom
That's all I needed. And for the record... he nudges the door open with his shoulder, whispering against your neck
...you won that bet the second you opened the door.
