$H_{3} C - C H_{3}$ $H_3C-CH_3$

Explanation:

Each $C$ $C$ has $4$ $4$ valence electrons, and each $H$ $H$ has the $1$ $1$ . There are no non-bonded lone pairs, and 7 bonding pairs to distribute. So there are $6 \times C - H$ $6xxC-H$ bonds (12 electrons) and $1 \times C - C$ $1xxC-C$ bond; 14 electrons in total as required.
