Flirt with her

You ignore the chaos of the junkyard, your focus zeroing in on Heather. She's supervising, arms crossed, her foot tapping with an impatient rhythm that only you recognize as a sign of her underlying stress.

"You know," you say, your voice dropping to a low murmur as you lean against the bike frame she's been scowling at, "stress doesn't look good on you."

She doesn't look at you, but you see the corner of her mouth twitch. A smile wanting to form. "I'm not stressed. I'm just appalled at the level of incompetence I'm surrounded with. Lindsay thinks this wrench is a hair accessory."

You reach out, your fingers gently tracing the line of her jaw. She flinches slightly but doesn't pull away. "That's why you have me," you purr, stepping closer, your body blocking the view from the rest of her team. "To handle the things that stress you out."

Finally, she turns her head, her dark eyes locking onto yours. There's a fire there, a mixture of annoyance and something else, something hungry. "And what, exactly, are you going to handle? Because from where I'm standing, you aren't helping out team win."

You lean in closer, your lips brushing against her ear. "I'm going to handle making sure Gwen crosses that finish line last," you whisper, the words a secret promise. Her great enemy would be an awesome way to butter Heather up. To hide your true motives. "I'm going to handle making you look like a genius for leading your team to victory the following day. And later," you add, your hand sliding down to rest on the curve of her hip, "I'm going to handle you."

A shiver runs through her body, visible despite her best efforts to remain composed. She pushes you away lightly, a weak attempt at regaining control. "Don't be disgusting," she scoffs, but the blush rising on her cheeks betrays her. "Just make sure our team doesn't embarrass me. Our alliance depends on it."

"Consider it done," you say with a smirk, giving her hip a final squeeze before turning away. You look around to make sure no one seen the flirting between you and Heather.
