But now, with Julian, she was starting to understand that there was more to life than just studying. There was laughter, affection, and moments like this that made everything seem worth it.
She pulled her hand from his grip, noticing how his touch lingered, a subtle heat growing between them.
"Take me home, Julian. I'm tired," she said with a smile, trying to keep the conversation light.
As much as she enjoyed being close to him, there were still some boundaries she wasn't ready to cross yet.
She had promised herself that by the time she graduated, she would be ready for the next step in their relationship and finally let him fuck her. But for now, she wasn't quite there yet.
She wanted to make sure that when the time came, it would be a special experience, one she could look back on with fondness.
Julian nodded, his smile still in place, though there was a flicker of understanding in his eyes.
