Once Hardin has successfully bullied Tessa into the car, they don't talk for a bit until Hardin asks her about her new look. He thinks its a little "over the top" and cool we're veering into the shaming and/or "you don't need all that make up" territory.
Tessa balls her hands into fists in her lap which is a detail that grabbed me because it's very "I'm afraid and trying to self soothe" to me. She tells him that he didn't have to drive her home and Hardin, being the aces guy he is, tells her to stop being so defensive, he's just saying the makeover is "extreme."

Tessa asks Hardin wtf he's doing here even though the answer is obviously that he has some tasty Kool Aide samples for them to try. (M: OH YEAH.)
Hardin's eyes are on fire ("blazing") as he pulls Tessa onto the bed and on top of him. Tessa is straddling him, which she's done before, but now she's straddling him with very little clothing on. She stays up on her knees so they aren't touching but "Hardin isn't having it," and he pulls her all the way down. Because clearly what Hardin's having is the only thing on the menu.
Okay well here I go. To recap Tessa and Hardin alone in a room at night again. With sex implications in the terribly written text. Alright. Here we go. Oh, wait, man, have I asked how you all are recently? Anything new?
Marines: Just rip the bandaid off, girl. This garbage fire has 90-something chapters.
