Luke stepped off the bed, and I forced myself not to look at the massive bulge in his shorts. Luke wanted me, why else would he keep stepping over the line? But he was a coward.
“I don’t want to hear it, so don’t even say anything. You keep pushing the boundary and then stop. It’s making me feel like I’m going insane!” I was so angry that I forgot I was embarrassed.
Suddenly, the room was hot and suffocating. I needed out. I needed to cool off. Luke just stood at the end of the bed, fists clenched like he was contemplating something. I rolled my eyes and walked to my dresser. I don’t feel like a run, so I’m going to swim laps. I want to get rid of this blistering heat that was clinging to me in this room.
Luke didn’t make a move, and I decided fuck it. If he’s not going. to leave, then I don’t care.

Luke sucked in a breath, and it snapped me out of my trans, his eyes trailing back up to meet mine. I waited for him, and when he still remained frozen and rigid, I slowly brought my hands to the waistband of my simple skirt.
