Aurelia's heart raced as she felt Lydia's gaze, her lips brushing against her own in a lingering kiss. She was aware of the effect she was having on her, and she enjoyed every second of it.
Drawing back slightly, I took in Lydia's flushed face, her eyes hazy with anticipation. My thumb brushed her cheek, tracing a line to her lips, which parted as her breath caught.
I grinned, revelling in the way I held her attention, how completely she was lost in the moment.
"Still planning to tease me?" I whispered, my voice a low murmur as I leaned closer, bringing my lips to her ear. The shiver that ran through her at my words was exactly what I was hoping for.
Lydia didn't answer, her hands gripping my waist to pull me closer. I smiled, taking her silence as consent to continue my slow, deliberate game. This was a dance we had perfected, and in these moments, I could savour her attention fully.
