The moment their eyes met, it was as if the world around them ceased to exist. His breath caught, and in the depths of his gaze, he saw everything she had ever yearned for—raw, unspoken, and undeniable. The air between them thickened, electric, as if their souls had recognized one another across time. He reached for his hand, his fingers tracing the delicate curve of her wrist, sending a shiver up her spine. The soft warmth of his touch was a silent promise, a vow of something they hadn’t yet named but both felt stirring within them. His pulse quickened, his heart thundering in her chest as he drew her closer, until the space between them seemed to vanish. Every breath they took was one and the same, their bodies moving in rhythm with the yearning that had long simmered beneath the surface. There were no words, no need for them. The intensity in his touch, in the way he held him, spoke louder than anything they could have said. He leaned into him, surrendering to the magnetic pull that bound them together, feeling the fire that danced between them, igniting a hunger that neither had the strength to deny.
