GRAYSON
“Yes. I try to knock but it seems like your parents are asleep.”
I’m going to hell for lying.
She squints at me. Suspicious. “You’re a terrible liar.”
“Then why are you still standing here talking to me?”
She huffs.
Rolls those big, furious eyes like she isn’t five seconds away from either punching me or letting me back her into that fucking wall. “You’re a fucking creep, Grayson.”
“And you came outside to talk to me,” I remind her, sharp, low, loving every goddamn second of this. “Barefoot. In your sleep shirt. No bra.”
Her face twists – mortified – because she knows I noticed.
Of course I fucking noticed. I notice everything when it comes to her.
“Fuck off, Grayson.”
“What’s wrong, Jess?” My voice drops, low enough to scrape. Low enough to crawl down her spine. “Thought you didn’t care if I looked.”
Her bare feet shift back. One step. Then another. Instinct. Survival. Stupid. Because there’s nowhere to run. It’s me. It’s always going to be me.
“I didn’t come out here for you,” she snaps, arms clutched tight like that’s gonna save her.” I–I thought I heard something!”

She glares up at me, fiery and furious and everything I want to ruin. “I told you you’ll never have me.”
fucking went still. Is she serious right now?
“Say that shit again, Jess.” My voice drops, low, sharp, shaking with control I don’t have right now. “I fucking dare you.”
She opens her mouth hesitates thinks she’s smart.
“You suck, Grayson.”
