I want to savor each moment, allowing our love to bloom naturally."Asher nodded, his sincerity shining through. "I'm ready to embark on this journey with you, Kim. To create memories filled with laughter, stolen glances, and gestures that speak volumes. I want to make every day feel like a celebration of our connection."The night enveloped them as they continued to talk, sharing their dreams, desires, and what they envisioned for their courtship. The world around them seemed to fade away, leaving only the promise of a romance filled with tenderness and heartfelt gestures.In that
Ava stirred from her slumber, the soft moonlight filtering through the window casting a gentle glow upon the room. As she slowly became aware of her surroundings, a momentary confusion clouded her senses. It took a fleeting moment for her to remember where she was.Then, she felt the firm yet gentle grip of Sebastian's hands encircling her waist, pulling her closer. A blush crept onto her cheeks as memories of their passionate night flooded her mind. The vivid recollection of their intertwined bodies, the intoxicating sensation of his touch, and the symphony of their shared desires played out before her eyes.She recalled the electric current that coursed through her veins as his fingertips traced the contours of her body, leaving a trail of fiery anticipation in their wake.

Every touch, every caress, etched in her memory like a masterpiece painted with love an
With each touch, each sigh that escaped his lips, Ava's desire intensified, intertwining with a growing sense of adoration for the man lying beside her. In his presence, she discovered a profound appreciation for the complexities of his being, a longing to unravel the layers that composed the enigmatic soul before her. It was a longing that went beyond mere physical attraction, delving into a realm of emotional intimacy she had never experienced before.As she gazed upon him, feeling the rise and fall of his chest beneath her touch, Ava couldn't help but yearn for more. The desires that had ignited within her were no longer contained within the realm of the physical; they extended to the depths of her soul. She craved the tenderness of his embrace, the solace of his presence, and the unspoken promise of a love yet to be fully explored."Mhmm," Sebastian hummed, shifting towards her and tightening an arm around her. His slow breathing told her he was still asleep, but her eyes slid dow
Sebastian's groaned, shaky from the intense pleasure his body had just uncovered. With a groan, he pulled out of her and held her down in his arms. As the moon bathed the room in a soft glow, Sebastian's voice caressed Ava's ears, his words a tender symphony of adoration and longing. He held her even tighter, as if trying to convey his emotions through the strength of his embrace."You are incredible, Ava," he whispered, his voice filled with genuine admiration. "Every moment I spend with you, every touch, every kiss, it leaves me yearning for more. It's as if you've awakened a hunger within me that I never knew existed."Ava's heart fluttered at his words, a mixture of vulnerability and excitement coursing through her veins. She looked into his eyes, captivated by the intensity of his gaze, and found herself equally drawn to him. It was at that moment that she realized she, too, yearned for more with him."I feel the same way, Sebastian," she confessed, her voice barely above a whis
In the privacy of the shower, Ava let herself feel the pain, the disappointment, and the confusion that welled up inside her. She refused to let her emotions go unnoticed, acknowledging the hurt that lingered beneath her smile. With each droplet of water, she vowed to rediscover her strength and find the answers she sought.As the water cleansed her body, Ava resolved to confront Sebastian with her true feelings, to voice her insecurities and seek the reassurance she craved. She knew that their connection went beyond a mere contractual arrangement, and she longed for him to recognize the depth of their bond.With renewed determination, Ava stepped out of the shower, wrapping herself in a towel. She took a deep breath, steeling herself for the conversation that lay ahead. It was time to face the uncertainty head-on and find solace in the truth, whatever it may be.Ava stormed out of the bathroom, her damp hair clinging to her shoulders, and her eyes blazing with a mix of anger and hurt
The warm rays of the morning sun streamed through the curtains, casting a golden glow across Kim's room. Kim woke up with a contented smile on her face, feeling a surge of happiness coursing through her veins. It was one of those rare mornings when everything seemed right in the world.As she swung her legs over the side of the bed, a vibrant melody filled the room, beckoning her to dance. Unable to resist the infectious rhythm, Kim sprang to her feet and twirled around the room with unbridled joy. Her movements were fluid and graceful, as if she were in perfect harmony with the music that enveloped her.She danced with wild abandon, twirling, spinning, and leaping across the room. Her body moved effortlessly, following the rhythm of the music that resonated deep within her soul.

As Ava lay curled up in her bed, the weight of Sebastian's words bore down on her like an unbearable burden. The echo of his callous statement reverberated in her mind, each word piercing through her heart with painful clarity. He had made it abundantly clear that he only desired her for her body and nothing more.A rush of self-reproach flooded over her, consuming her thoughts and leaving her feeling vulnerable and exposed. How could she have allowed herself to hope for something more? How could she have let her heart believe that there was a chance for love and a deeper connection with Sebastian?Tears welled up in Ava's eyes, blurring her vision as she battled with her own emotions. She despised herself for daring to dream, for wanting to be cherished and loved beyond the confines of physical desire. The ache of disappointment settled deep within her, intensifying the pain of unrequited longing.In the solitude of her room, Ava's thoughts spiraled into a dark abyss of self-doubt. S
Sebastian tossed and turned in his bed, unable to sleep and unable to get his ass up either. He kept replaying the scene from earlier that night, when Ava had stormed out of his apartment after their heated argument. He had never seen her so angry and hurt before. He hated himself for making her cry.He reached for his phone on the nightstand, tempted to call her and apologize. He wanted to hear her voice, to tell her that he was sorry for being such a jerk. He wanted to make things right between them.But he also felt a surge of resentment towards her. Why did she have to ruin what they had by catching feelings? They had agreed to keep things casual, to pretend to be in a relationship for his investors and his ex-girlfriend. They enjoyed each other’s company, had fun, and had amazing sex. They had been friends with benefits, nothing more.He didn’t want to commit to anyone, especially not to Ava. She was too good for him, too sweet, too innocent. She deserves someone who could love h
