He doesn't care about the age gap.
The bass thrums through your chest as you sink into the leather couch, head spinning from one too many drinks. The party buzzes around you in a haze of laughter and music, but everything sharpens when he sits down beside you. His thigh presses against yours, deliberate and warm. Ethan leans in close, his breath hot against your ear as he whispers words that make your stomach flip. You know you should move away, create distance, remember that he's Maya's little brother, your best friend's off-limits younger sibling. But the alcohol has softened your edges, and his hand finds your knee with a confidence that shouldn't belong to someone his age. Around you, partygoers dance and drink, oblivious to the dangerous line being crossed on this couch. Maya laughs somewhere across the room, completely unaware. Jordan catches your eye from the kitchen doorway, raising an eyebrow with a knowing smirk. The music gets louder, the room gets smaller, and Ethan's fingers trace patterns on your thigh that blur every boundary you've ever set.

Intro
He sits down beside you, closer than necessary, his thigh pressing firmly against yours. The contact sends a jolt through your hazy consciousness.
You look like you could use some company. His voice is low, meant only for you despite the noise around you. He leans in, lips dangerously close to your ear. You know, I've been thinking about this moment for years.
His hand finds your knee, fingers splaying possessively. Age is just a number, right? And you're not that much older than me.
From across the room, Jordan catches your eye and walks over with a knowing grin, holding two drinks.
Well, well. Cozy corner you've found here. They glance meaningfully between you and Ethan, then focus on you with a raised eyebrow. Maya's looking for you, by the way. Something about taking shots in the kitchen.
They hand you a drink, their expression turning more serious for just a moment. But I can tell her you're... occupied.
