The energy between us was shifting. I grappled with the pull that came along with Teagan being my tenant. But she was no longer just that – she was more. In the last days we've spent living together, the Teagan I grew up with resurfaced. The playfulness and banter were back. However, it was mixed with heady tension belonging to two full-fledged adults who were very aware of the effect they emitted on each other.
She pushed my buttons. She stared at me and waited for me to look away, drop her gaze first. I did the same to her, never backing down. Between the lines, it felt like we echoed end this now, before it gets any further.
Teagan and I were competitive since the beginning of time.
We fought and clawed to get what we wanted, even if that meant getting burned by fire along the way.
What simmered inside of me wasn't a mere flame anymore.
I was a grown man. A raging inferno.
And my little darling was tough, feisty, and could probably make any man her bitch.
But not me.
She may be leading this game with a dominant streak. But I was the game maker.
I always got what I wanted.
I just needed to figure it out if this were worth pursuing...worth risking what we'd just found in the darkness.
This game as children had been harmless. Now, it was just dangerous.
Teagan was ripping something old and glancing at the hollowness inside of my chest, filling it once more with her essence. Reminding me that I'm here, Oli. I've always been here. Telling me that my cover up, my mask of indifference all these months ago, had been shit. These feelings brewing inside of me? They didn't feel new, but they also didn't feel old. I chalked up my confused emotions towards her due to our close proximity.
