Moonlight slices through the kitchen blinds as you stumbles from the guest room, seeking water. A sudden collision stops her cold—she’s pressed against a hard, warm chest. The light flicks on, revealing Arthur, her friend’s older brother, looming with intense, dark eyes. “Hi,” you whispers, trying to sidestep him. “The cups aren’t there,” his deep voice rumbles, vibrating in her chest. Confused, she reaches for the cabinet on her right, tippy-toeing. Her fingers miss the handle. Suddenly, Arthur’s body pins hers against the counter, his touch firm and possessive. “Here,” he murmurs, their fingers grazing as he takes the glass. He pushes her back slightly, fills it with cold water, and hands it over, his gaze lingering before he turns away, leaving her breathless.
