Derek’s eyes were dark on mine and his breathing had slowed. His fingers toyed with the ties of my dress, fingers brushing my back. I was frozen where I stood, unable to move or even think, the air thick with tension and unsaid words.

“I don’t know if you should trust me very much,” he muttered, eyes on my back.

I turned to face him fully and his hand fell away. He stuffed them both quickly in his pocket, avoiding my eyes.

“Why?” I asked, probing to know, brushing my hair out of my face where the breeze was blowing it, willing him to say what I wanted.

He sighed, hanging his head, jaw hardening. “Because I’m thinking some pretty fucking filthy things right now.”

I swallowed hard, forcing a laugh. “It’s the dress…”

Derek didn’t answer but the whiskey had made me bold. I bit my lip. “Maybe I should take it off…”

He muttered under his breath. “Don’t fucking test me.”

I nodded, jerked back to reality. I’d taken it too far. I would be starting to fuck with our relationship and that would really mess everything up. I’d played with fire, tempted that fantasy of mine, and burned us both.

“You’re right,” I admitted, ashamed, “I’m sorry. I’ll go.”

His shoulders relaxed but his hands stayed jammed in his pockets. I put my heels back on.

“I’ll see you later,” I muttered, turning to leave. I’d crossed a line and I knew I’d be paying for it. Hopefully he’d chalk it up to me drinking and just making a fool of myself.

I left him standing on the dock, running his hands through his hair, struggling for a steady breath. I made my way to his house, feeling stupid as all hell.

What the fuck was I thinking?

In the dark living room, eyes on the front door, the last barrier till I got the hell out of there, I heard the back door open behind me.

He came after me? Fuck, let’s not make this more awkward that it’s already been.

“Liv, wait,” he grabbed my hand and pulled me back to him, forcing me to crash into his strong body, my hands on his large arms to steady myself. I moved to pull away but he didn’t let me.

His hands held steady on my lower back. My heart thundered in my chest, my body pressed against his. I couldn’t breathe.

“You trust me, right? You trust that no matter what, I would always do what was best for you,” he breathed, “I can’t fucking betray that. I’m your trainer, your friend… I have your back and you can always count on me… It’d be messed up as hell if you knew how much I fucking want you.”

I swallowed, unable to speak. My chest seized tight, dumbed in stupor.

“I’ve wanted you for two fucking years. Day in and day out, all I can think about is you. But I can’t have you,” he muttered, “You’re a member of my gym and I have a reputation to protect. It wouldn’t be right.”

His fingers toyed with the ties of my dress, my hands tight on his biceps.
