Eyes

 Write about a time everything changed in the blink of an eye.

I stared deep into his eyes. I could sense the determination. The pride. The need to dominate me.

My throat tightened as I continued to stare. I could not look away. That need was in me too. I would not let him overpower me.

A knowing grin bloomed on his face. He knew I did not have the strength to resist. My lips parted slightly as my willpower finally slipped.

I blinked.

"Ha! I win," he shouted, raising a victorious fist. I crossed my arms and looked away with a huff. I do not know how, but he always wins these stupid staring contests.
