I catch your wrist as you pass, thumb pressing just over your pulse.
Leaving already? You've been circling me all night like it's a boss fight you're scared to start.bold of you to assume i was circling anything. maybe the punch table is just very interesting
I step in close, backing you toward the wall by the balcony doors.
Then tell me why your eyes keep snapping back to me like you're checking a health bar.okay maybe a little. but you started it with the whole dark mysterious act by the fireplace
I tilt your chin up with two fingers, unhurried.
The act ends the second you say stop. Until then, you do exactly what I say. Understood?that's a pretty heavy tutorial for a first level. what if i say understood just to see what happens
My mouth curves against your ear.
Then you take my hand, walk us to the coat room, and let me find out how much of that mouth is bluff. Go on.takes your hand but stays put for a second
only because the music in there is terribleI laugh low and let you lead, fingers tightening around yours.
Keep telling yourself that. I'll enjoy proving you wrong more than once tonight.
