As their lips met, the taste of wine lingered between them, a subtle yet intoxicating flavor that added a layer of sweetness to the kiss. The velvety texture of the wine seemed to melt on their tongues, intertwining with the warmth of their embrace as they lost themselves in the moment.
The emperor's gaze remained fixed on the empress as their lips met in a fervent kiss. His golden eyes slowly darkened with intensity as they bore into the empress, who seemed to have surrendered to the passion that surged between them with closed eyes, her long lashes trembling for a moment.
