He pressed himself tight against the couch as if there was away to get away from her. A hand snaked up his chest and his held his breath, but only because it stuck in his throat. "Your welcome," he mumbles, that ingrained politeness rearing it’s head again. Instinctively, he placed a hand against the small of her back when she leaned against him. Her skin was soft and warm, and he had to resist the urge to rub his thumb over it. He spread the other arm across the back of the couch, fingers closed in a tight fist. Which didn't look any better than if he'd been clutching the fabric.
He dropped his hand from her back and finally release the held breath as subtly as he could when she turned away from him. Grayson was but a man after all, and they could really only resist so much. They were simple creatures, so he allowed his eyes to sweep over her when he thought she couldn't see.
"I don't get chain," he explains to smother her doubts. He leaned forward when she was off his lap, and leaned his elbows on his knees. He buried his face behind his hand with a groan. This was clearly his response to her offer to join her.
He certainly did not watch her flounce.
When she was gone and he felt like he could breathe properly again, he grabbed his cell off the coffee table and leaned back. Ordering pizza would probably be the easiest thing he dealt with that night, so when he was finished he walked to the kitchen because he already needed a beer.
Gulping the liquid down, he leaned against the counter and waited for her to return. He really hoped she would be wearing something. Anything. Right now he didn't even care.
Thinking on it harder her cared a little. He was pretty sure that was nothing she could find that was worse than his sweater.

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
