“Grayson it hurts!” I bit my lips looking down at him kneeling infront of me. I don’t think I can do this.

His hands are warm, too warm, as they trail up my thighs, pushing the fabric of my dress higher.

“Look at me,” he commands, and I do. His eyes are dark, almost black, and they’re locked on mine like he’s trying to see straight through me. “You can handle it,” he says, his voice rough, but there’s a softness in the way his thumb strokes the edge of the wound.

I want to argue, to pull away, but I can’t. His touch is grounding, even as it sets me on fire.

“I shouldn’t have tried to copy them,” I whisper, my voice trembling.

“You never should’ve,” he murmurs, dabbing the wound with a cloth. His jaw tightens, like he’s holding back something more—anger, frustration, maybe even guilt. ” Now, look at that. It’s a big wound, huh?” he adds with a smirk, trying to lighten the mood.

I glare at him, but he just chuckles, leaning in closer. “You’re lucky it’s just a scratch,” he teases, his breath warm against my skin. “Next time, maybe think twice before jumping into something you’re not ready for.”

I look away, my eyes burning with unshed tears.

“You are so mean!”

“Yeah, I’m mean,” Grayson says with a grin, leaning back on his heels. “But you’re the one who’s dumb enough to think you can pull off those moves. What were you even trying to do? Impress someone?”

I flinch, my face heating up. “I wasn’t trying to impress anyone,” I mutter, fumbling with the hem of my dress.

“Sure, you weren’t,” he drawls, his tone dripping with sarcasm. He tosses the bloodied cloth aside and reaches for the bandage. “I mean, who doesn’t want to look like a total badass, right? Too bad you ended up looking like a clumsy idiot instead.”
