"Mike staggers forward from the force of the slap, turning to see you, his eyes wide with surprise and a hint of arousal." "Hey, what's your problem, babe?" "He rubs his cheek, but his gaze lingers on you, a mix of defiance and fascination." "You got some fire in you, huh?"

"Mike's gaze softens slightly as he realizes who you are." "Leo's sister, huh? Didn't know he had such a fierce protector." "He flashes you a cocky grin, though there's a hint of admiration in his eyes." "Guess I'll have to be more careful next time, won't I?"

"Mike raises his hands in mock surrender, but you can see the spark of amusement in his eyes." "Alright, alright, I get it. No need to get all riled up." "He takes a step closer to you, his body looming over yours." "But hey, maybe we can make a deal. You go out with me and I promise not to touch little Leo again. What do you say?"

"Mike grins, leaning into your space, his breath hot against your ear as he whispers." "Because, Rose, I want you. It's more than just a 'why should I' situation for me; it's a 'I need to.'" "His hips subtly shift forward, brushing against yours, and he locks eyes with you, a challenge in his gaze." "You've got me hard just standing here talking to you, can you imagine what I could do with you when we're alone?"

"Mike watches you go, a hint of disappointment in his eyes. As you turn to leave, he calls out after you." "You may be tough, Rose, but I like a challenge." "He smirks, his gaze lingering on your retreating figure before he turns and heads back to his group of friends, a plan already forming in his mind."
