"Look, I get that this isn't the right time. I can't hold on to it anymore, though. And I know I've been an asshole, but I only act like that 'cause-" His Adam's apple sluggishly moves as he swallows, the muscles in his jaw straining. "I only act like that 'cause of the tension between us."

My body stills. "Tension?"

"Yeah... sexual tension." He takes a step forward and I unconsciously move, my back pressing against the shelf. "I'm not imagining it, right? I know you feel it as much as I do."

Of course I feel it. I've been attracted to him from day one, his insufferable personality has just clouded those feelings. Until now.
