Lizzie immediately started turning red when he came that close to her. She looked embarrassed and scared all at the same time. 

"What?" she said. 

He just looked at her, he examined her face and smelled her hair. His body was up against hers and she could feel herself falling under his spell. He dipped his head down to kiss her and she felt turned on. His hand touched her side making her shiver as it slid up her shirt. His kiss was hot and she wasn't really sure what was going on. Hank knew that he wanted her, he didn't want Conner to touch her and if he had, if even so much as kissed her he was making sure that he wasn't the last thing on her mind before she went to bed. She lifted his head away from hers so she could take a breath, 

"Don't stop me." he said in a low whisper. 

His hot breath on her face made her feel like she was melting, he kissed her again. He was going to leave his mark on her the only way he was allowed to. She kissed him back harder and his hand touched her breast, she tried not to moan but it was almost impossible to stop the sound from escaping her lips. She shook her head no but he didn't stop, he broke the kiss and trailed his lips down her neck. Her eyes were closed and her hand was going through his hair as he pulled up her shirt. He lifted her up off her feet and her legs wrapped around his body. What was she letting him do? She couldn't think straight long enough to figure that out. She kissed him harder, her breath was audible and it just made him want her more. He laid her on the bed and got on top of her, his lips making kisses down her stomach as he reached for her pants. She felt like a shock had hit her; she grabbed his hands and shook her head no. Hank looked up at her and looked down at her pants again. He gave her a grin and she looked at him worried, 

"Hank don't or I'll never forgive you." she said. 

Hearing those words, his sly grin fell. He stood up and adjusted his shirt he didn't say a word to her. He turned around and walked out of her room without a word. He went back downstairs into his room and locked the door. 

"What the hell is wrong with me?" He said to himself. 

Lizzie was in her room going over what just happened between them. She tried to sleep it off but she was haunted by the memory of his kisses. Did he really want her that bad? Maybe she was wrong, she knew that he didn't want anything to happen between them but it was almost like he was upset at her for stopping him. She was partly upset at herself for doing that as well, she would've loved to have known what it was like to sleep with Hank. On the other hand, she was proud she made him stop; she didn't want to become just like one of those other girls he slept with and never called back. It would be more awkward for them because they worked together. Two days went by with Hank and Lizzie pretending like nothing happened between them in front of everyone else but they never once allowed themselves to be alone with one another. Rosa nor Charlie picked up on the tension between them; they had assumed that they were just getting along. Lizzie got a call from Conner asking her if she wanted to go have lunch with him again. She gladly said yes wanting to get out of the house, she had white shorts on with a long sleeved buttoned up white shirt to match. She had skipped her way down the stairs jumping from the third step closest to the bottom and walking into the kitchen to grab a bottle of water. Her brown hair was laying down her back in beach waves and she had sun glasses on the top of her head. It was much warmer down in their part of Florida even for the fall season. Charlie and Hank looked at her surprised to see her so happy. 

"Where are you going looking like that?" Charlie asked. 

Lizzie looked at him wide eyed and then checked out her outfit to see what might be inappropriate. 

"What's wrong with how I look?" 

"Nothing you look beautiful, but who are you looking beautiful for?"
