Part 10
*Please, please pass by I can't resist you even though I try*
She stared back at him, searching his gaze in turn. He didn't know what she saw, but he knew what he could see in hers. Panic due to his proximity, yet there was an underlying excitement too. He saw something else, could feel something else, she was struggling to keep hidden. "You're playing with fire, Jaina." He told her hoarsely. He lifted one hand, bracing it beside her shoulder, but not touching her.
She took a step back, away from him, and encountered the door, her eyes widening as she realized she was blocked. "I... I'm not. I can't..."
He placed his other hand on the other side of her, effectively trapping her, yet still not touching her. If he did, he'd crumble. He'd get down on his knees and beg for what she couldn't give, probably scaring her away forever. Which, considering her choice of future husband, probably wasn't a bad thing. "You are. You're playing with something you don't understand, something volatile that's ready to explode. Me. Don't play games Jaina, the more you do..." he trailed off.
She swallowed hard. "I'm not playing a game. I never played games with you."
"Didn't you?" he demanded quietly. "Every look you've been giving me since Jag came back? Since you accepted his proposal? Making sure I knew that he had something I could never have? That he had you?"
Her eyes widened in sudden understanding, "But, you never..."
"Why would I?" he pulled back, turning away from her and stalked across the room back to his bunk. He spun on her, his eyes flashing angrily. "I know your opinion of me. Just leave Jaina; just go. Don't look back. Go back to him. The longer you stay here, the harder I find it to resist you."
She didn't move, simply stared at him. She pushed off from the door, half turning, making as if to open the door and paused. Her hand slipped down and she pressed the button to lock it instead. Turning back, she met his gaze squarely. "I'm not going anywhere until you explain yourself, Kyp."
