Aria's contagious laughter filled the air as Ryan gently dropped her onto the plush bed, her body sinking into the softness, her ponytail hair spreading across the pillow.
Ryan dropped down beside her, while Samuel was left in the living room, surrounded by silence.
Aria gently raised herself from the bed like a ballerina unfolding from a delicate pose, Ryan quickly supported her, their faces inches apart, the air thickened, vibrating with unspoken emotions.
They looked at each other and time seemed to slow down, the world around them melting away, leaving only the two of them, suspended in a bubble of intimacy.
The only sound was their breathing, Aria's gaze was mesmerized by Ryan's dark eyes.
Ryan's gaze burned with intensity, his eyes drinking in every detail of her face, every curve, every contour.
