His words sent a rush of heat through Aria, but it was the feel of his mouth on her nipple that made her gasp in pleasure. His tongue flicked over her sensitive skin, drawing it into his mouth with a slow, deliberate pull. The way he worshiped her body, savoring every inch, had her trembling with need. The pressure in her chest and core intensified as he continued to focus on her breasts, alternating between gentle kisses and teasing sucks that made her ache for more. Her movements became erratic as she felt herself slipping closer to the edge.Aria’s moans grew louder, her body responding instinctively to the delicious tension building within her. Her fingers gripped James’s shoulders for support as she quickened her pace, desperate to chase the wave of release that was threatening to consume her. She could feel the tight coil of pleasure tightening inside her, each movement pushing her further toward the brink. Her breath came in shallow gasps as she tried to hold on, but the sensa

AFTER dinner, the air between them felt comfortable, content, but a shift of space was inevitable. James watched as Aria excused herself, her soft footsteps echoing up the stairs. His gaze followed her for a moment, watching her disappear from sight, before turning his attention back to the bar counter. There was a certain kind of peace that settled over him when she was around, but now, in the silence of the empty room, he found himself reflecting on what he had just said. The soft clink of ice in his glass as he poured himself a drink seemed to amplify the quiet of the evening.As he took a sip from his glass, the warmth of the alcohol spreading through his chest, his thoughts drifted back to Aria—her name lingering on his lips, like a sweet melody. He smiled, a slow, contented curve of his mouth that betrayed just how much he had come to cherish her presence in his life. The heat of the liquor warmed him from the inside, but it was the thought of her that truly comforted him. Her l

“Thank you again, James,” Aria said, her voice soft and filled with gratitude as they came to a stop in front of her family’s modest house.James glanced at her, his smile kind but carrying an unmistakable warmth. “Anything for you,” he replied with a wink, the gesture lighthearted yet sincere.It was a Friday morning, and Aria had persuaded James to let her tag along on his trip to Manila. She had wanted—no, needed—to visit her family. Surprisingly, convincing him hadn’t been a challenge at all; he had agreed without hesitation, his willingness only deepening her affection for him.“Would you like to have some coffee before heading to work?” she offered, hesitating slightly. In truth, she wasn’t ready to part ways just yet and hoped he might indulge her for a little longer.James studied her for a moment, then leaned forward to brush his lips against hers in a brief but tender kiss. “Thanks, but…” He glanced at his watch, a flicker of reluctance in his eyes. Finally, he shook his hea

The raw intensity of his words seemed to hang in the air, heavy and suffocating. He could feel the truth of them in every fiber of his being, a truth that terrified him, but also anchored him to this moment, to her. He could never be whole without her.Aria stared at him, her face a portrait of devastation, tears streaming down her cheeks as she tried to reconcile the love she still felt for him with the walls she had built around her heart. She saw the depth of his pain reflected in his eyes, and it broke her a little more. But she couldn’t let herself soften yet, not when her world was falling apart. James, on the other hand, had already crumbled. Slowly, painfully, he knelt in front of her, his gaze never leaving hers. It was a silent plea, an offering of his vulnerability, as he lowered himself to the floor, making himself smaller, as if to show her just how far he would go to prove his love. The act itself was a surrender, and it shook her to her core.James’s voice trembled

As his hands began to explore her body with the same reverence as his eyes, she felt herself relax completely, giving herself to him without hesitation. In his presence, she felt cherished, adored, and utterly alive.A low hum escaped Aria’s lips as her eyes fluttered shut, her breath catching in her throat. The world around her seemed to fade as she focused solely on the sensations James was drawing from her. His fingers moved with deliberate slowness, tracing her curves, each touch sending electric pulses through her body. When his fingers brushed against her sensitive peaks, she couldn’t suppress the shiver that ran through her, her hips instinctively lifting in response. She bit her lower lip, desperately trying to control the torrent of desire building inside her, but it was a losing battle. Every brush of his fingertips, every tender caress, had her body humming with anticipation, her mind clouded with the need for more.James’s voice broke through the haze of sensation, a s
