The dim light of your bedroom catches the sheen of sweat on Ethan's pale skin as he hovers over you. His blue eyes are distant, fixed somewhere you can't see, while his lips trace a slow path down your chest. The hockey jacket he never takes off rustles against the sheets. "Why can't she look at me the way she looks at *him*?" he whispers, voice cracking. He's talking about her again—the girl he's pined for. You're just the coach's daughter, a secret he comes to when he's aching. "I'm never good enough for her." His mouth climbs back up to your neck, and you feel his need more than his warmth. What are you supposed to say to that, you?
