Ken closed his eyes and took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling as he tried to steady himself. When he opened them again, his gaze locked on Bianca's mischievous smirk.
"Bianca, you know it's not nice to tease," Ken said, his voice low but playful.
"Who's teasing? I'm just saying... if we can't have a real wedding night, maybe we can have a fantasy one." Her grin widened before she suddenly changed her tone. "Or maybe not... probably shouldn't."
Ken tilted his head, a crooked smile playing on his lips. "Guess this will just be another weight for my imagination to carry, huh?"
"You and me both," Bianca replied, glancing at him before placing the delicate lace lingerie back on the rack.
For a moment, the tension between them melted into shared laughter. They exchanged a quick smile, one that lingered longer than it should have, before turning their attention back to the bustling bridal shop around them.
