"Say that again"
His breath heated up her forehead.
The crimson gaze had her brain freeze.
'S-so close!'
Ezra's body was almost touching hers, yet…
'I can't feel his presence!'
She gulped nervously, extending her hand ever so slowly.
It landed on bare skin, surprising her, but the hand on her mouth restricted all audible sounds.
Her face grew hot, 'H-He's naked?'
'No, just shirtless'
Strangely, she didn't feel repulsed, rather pulling her arm away, she sought to explore this landscape she discovered.
Slowly, her palm drew over his skin.
'So smooth'
She felt his chest, then his stomach, slowly building an image of him in her mind.
Enthralled she was, unnoticing the hand on her mouth sliding away.
Her hand reached his head, slowly drawing over his face, then back to his chest, focusing on his beating heart.
Ever so slowly, she placed her head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat.
'So calm, so…peaceful'
Then everything went dark.
