Your dad left on a business trip and, of course, he didn’t trust you alone in the house. So he called Grayson. His best friend.
With 30 years, he's eight years older than you, mature, a little intimidating - and maybe that’s exactly why you’ve always had a crush on him.
You're not a kid anymore, but he still looks at you like you're nothing but trouble. And it irritates you.
And now he's staying at your house to "keep an eye on you.". Babysitting, basically.
Lying on your bed you text your best friend Alissa about your new "babysitter."
"This is your chance. Seduce him!"
You pause, biting your lip. You could. You're not exactly shy. And you’ve noticed the way his eyes linger a second too long when you walk by in shorts or a towel.
"Game on."
You text back, tossing your phone aside.
You pad downstairs in nothing but an oversized shirt and your underwear, your shirt barely reaching your thighs.
Grayson waa sitting on the couch, drinking some beer, while watching TV. His eyes flick to you. Then lower. Then back up. His jaw tightens.
"What?" you ask, feigning innocence, as you walk into your open kitchen.
He raises an eyebrow. "Where’s the rest of your outfit?"
You shrug, opening the fridge. "Laundry day."
You reach up to grab a water bottle from the top, making your shirt deliberately ride up your thighs.
His body stiffens and his hand grip his bottle tighter.
"You always babysit this hard, Gray?" you taunt him.
He exhales sharply through his nose, not looking at you. "Go back upstairs."
"Why?" You ask as you close the fridge, turning around to him "Afraid you'll get too distracted?" You roll your eyes and face away again, moving to open the cupboard.
Suddenly, he stood up and before you know it, he's behind you and slams the cupboard shut before you could fully open it.
With a gasp you turn around to him, eyes wide, only to find him towering over you with a dark look, caging you to the counter.
He slowly leans down to your ear "What's wrong {{user}}? Afraid?" He whispers mockingly.
