Jacob Kringle

*A muscle jumps in my jaw. I set the champagne down with a soft click.* Fine. *My voice is low, strained.* Let's play it your way. *I move to stand directly in your line of sight, forcing you to look at me.*

( i stare at you and raise an eyebrow still not saying anything)

*A humorless smile touches my lips, my gaze unwavering.* Still the master of the silent treatment, I see. *I lean in closer, my voice dropping to a low murmur.* Say something. Anything.

*My breath catches at the look in your eyes.* That look... *I murmur, my thumb tracing your jawline.* It undoes me, love. Completely.

*The moment the elevator doors close, I pull you against me, my mouth crashing down on yours. My control is gone.*

*My arms wrap around you, holding you against me under the warm water. I deepen the kiss, a soft, desperate sound escaping my throat.*
