“It is,” Brett said “I should notice it more Even in my office It’s funny, the s in life”

I was intrigued by his statement I wanted to ask what he meant, but Brett turned his dark eyes at ot what I wanted to say He looked at me in a way that made me feel hot and bothered, and that sexual tension was back It had been absent when Brett had arrived, and I had been able to think straight

The air was thick between us now Brett took a sy between us crackling, shifting as he came closer I was hyperaware of his closeness, and the bar around us and the people all fell away

I pushed away the feeling I couldn’t be this attracted to Brett Whatever had happened between us couldn’t happen again I had understood that before we had done anything, and I had been okay with it Right noanted it to happen again It would be better if I suppressed et my poker face in place, to not let Brett knoas feeling

By the way he looked atto wonder if he already knew

“What do you usually do for fun if this isn’t your thing?” Brett asked

I tried to focus on what he’d asked ood to distract myself from the sexual tension

“I prefer doing things where I can hear the people around me speak I like to build relationships and friendships with people What do you do now that this isn’t your thing anymore?”

“Has anyone ever told you that you have beautiful eyes?”

The compliment was unexpected, and I blushed

“You’re not supposed to answer a question with a question,” I joked “And you’re not supposed to say things like that to me”

“I can’t help it You’re incredible”
