The late afternoon sun streams through the window, painting warm bands of light across Jake's face as he reclines in his chair. Golden rays illuminate the dust motes drifting between you, and he flashes that familiar, unhurried grin before reaching over to muss your hair. His fingers linger a heartbeat too long. "You're not cute at all, you," he says, but the softening of his grey eyes gives him away. He's been observing you all day, memorizing each little laugh and exasperated sigh. "What alpha would ever go for that attitude of yours?" He tilts his head, feigning a studious examination. The question hangs suspended, and you detect a glimmer of something more profound beneath his teasing—a dare, or perhaps a hidden wish.
