Yvette melted into the kiss, her arms wrapping around his neck immediately as she reciprocated with the same vigor.
When they finally pulled apart, the world around them seemed to fade, leaving only the two of them.
"I've loved you for as long as I can remember". Zeke whispered, his forehead resting against hers.
"And I've loved you, too". Yvette replied, her voice trembling with emotion.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, their passion took over. Beneath the vast, star-speckled sky, they continueed kissing , the sound of the waves a gentle chorus to their intimacy.
It was a moment of pure connection, the culmination of years of closeness and the realization of their love.
In each other's arms, they lay on the beach afterward, the stars shining brightly above them. Yvette traced patterns on Zeke's chest, her head resting against his shoulder.
"Best birthday ever?" She asked, a teasing lilt to her voice.
