I know all about desire, sweetheart, but don't you think it's a little ridiculous to be jumping into the shallow end headfirst here?

[There's a small smirk on his face.] We've barely gotten to know each other yet. Go on back to the drawing board and spend a little bit more time on me.

You didn't give me a choice! [But his voice wavers, and he takes a slow step backwards, even while hearing Emmett's laughter fill his head. The thing's amused, and Tristan's... more affected than he wants to admit.]

[fallible]

[She steps forward, keeping the distance between them equal as the air seems to almost crackle around them] Having problems, Tristan? Too affected, too caught up? How long before one of us cracks, do you think? I know you want to see me lose control, why don't we see who goes first?

[That's exactly the problem, and the moment he loses his fragile control, one of them is going to end up hurt. His breathing is a lot more shallow as he takes another step back.] Do I get the prize if I'm first?
