As the first light of dawn filtered through the heavy curtains, Marcus and Samantha lay entwined, basking in the afterglow of their passionate reunion. Despite the intense night they had shared, the air between them still sizzled with an undeniable energy. Their bodies might not need rest, but their minds savored this moment of peace after the countless ways they made love to each other.
Samantha traced lazy patterns on Marcus's chest, marveling at the coolness of his skin. The sensation of being close to him felt new and exciting. She tilted her head up, meeting his intense gaze.
"What are you thinking?" she asked softly, curiosity coloring her tone.
Marcus's hand came up to cup her face, his thumb gently caressing her cheek. "I'm thinking about how close I came to losing you forever," he admitted, his voice thick with emotion. "And... there's something I need to tell you, something you might not remember."
