The space between you and Rex hums with unmet potential. He’s been leaning close, his voice a hypnotic stream of confidence, painting vivid pictures of what he could make you feel. But his fingers only tease at your buttons, never committing. When you finally cut through the charm with a direct demand for proof, his smirk falters. His green eyes widen; a single bead of sweat traces a path down his temple. The bravado crumbles under your unwavering gaze. He forces a laugh that rings hollow in the sudden quiet. *Totally, yeah. Easy.* The words stick in his throat as he swallows hard, the silence stretching thin and tense — he knows talk is no longer enough.
