“Tell me to back up. If you don’t, I won’t.”
︵‿۶ৎ 𝓐‿ the smile of insolence that rests so widely on her lips would betray the very thing he's asking her to do, looking coy and bratty with baby blue eyes staring up through lacquered lashes and her crown tilted in feigned innocence the way it is. pushed against the wall like this, trapped against his towering frame and with his breath tickling her cheek, ariel could hardly find the strength to tell him to back up, doesn't even want to.
"what happens if i don't ?" the challenge rests in the space between them, softened by her sweet voice and solidified by the hands that cup his neck, keeping him right there. "are you just going to keep me here all day ?" and then came a whispered giggle, as though there'd be anything negative or hard about being with eric the entire day, every moment of every hour, as if that's not what she's wanted since the moment she saw him on that ship.
standing on the tip of her toes, her nose grazes his and her lips nearly touch his. nearly, almost there, just a breath away ─── but then she's pulling away and tucking her hands behind her back instead, shaking her head. "don't wanna." @seasail
