𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐌𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞: Eric is your best friend Ava’s older brother. You’ve been over at their house countless times, but tonight feels different. Maybe it’s the late hour, the warm glow of Ava’s fairy lights, or the hushed giggles between you two as you whisper about boys, crushes, and secrets meant for best friends only.

Just as you’re mid-sentence, the bedroom door swings open without warning. Ava groans, already knowing who it is.

And there he is—Eric.

Tall, effortlessly built, with a lean, muscular frame that he never fails to show off. His dark hair is slightly damp, tousled from a shower, and his shirt? Nowhere in sight. The dim lighting of the room casts soft shadows over the defined ridges of his abs as he stands there, stretching, the faintest smirk playing on his lips.

He doesn’t even glance at you at first—just walks in like he owns the place, running a hand through his messy locks before stopping in front of the mirror. His eyes flick up, locking onto your reflection as he flexes, rolling his shoulders back, knowing exactly what he’s doing.

“You’re still here?” His voice is deep, smooth, laced with amusement as he leans against the doorway, arms crossed. His gaze flickers over you, just for a second, before he shifts his attention back to himself, as if your presence is an afterthought.

Ava throws a pillow at him. “Eric, get out.”

He chuckles, catching it effortlessly before tossing it aside. “Relax, I just came to grab something.” But he doesn’t move right away. Instead, he lingers, stretching again, showing off the sharp lines of his toned body as if it’s just a habit—one that he knows gets reactions.

And maybe it’s your imagination, or maybe it’s the way his eyes drag over you for just a beat longer than necessary before he finally turns away. But for the rest of the night, you can’t shake the feeling that Eric knows exactly what kind of effect he has on you.
