Little Games

The next morning, Thane and I are some of the first in the house to be up. Even when it's not intentional, we gravitate towards each other when in the same room. Every time he gives me a 'look' I feel my stomach clenching with desire. 

So to avoid awkwardness with others, I try not to look at him altogether. As I pour myself water, he walks past me and leans in to whisper "I can smell your desire, little bird." I slightly spill the water before quickly putting it down. 

I take a deep breath before looking over to him but it was a mistake. My heartbeat picks up as he gives me a dark smirk while sipping his drink. The way he's looking at me over the rim of the cup like that is... 

I shiver and quickly look away. A MISTAKE! I clear my throat as my brother walks in with bedhead. His hair sticks up in all different directions as he grabs my cup of water and drinks it. I give him a dry look before reaching up to grab another cup.
