“W…w…what?” I stammered. I stepped back to let him in and closed the door behind me. I had turned around to show him into the living room, when he came forward, crowding my space and backing me up against the door. He set the bag of junk food down, took my face in his hands and lifted it up so that I was staring into those eyes. He brushed his thumb over my lips, softly and slowly.

“I said, I’d keep that tongue in my mouth, if I were you. And if you keep looking at me with that look in your eyes, I can’t be held responsible for what I do next.”
