Playing Music In The Afternoon
191 words
By early afternoon, a soft acoustic playlist was drifting through the apartment from the speaker in the corner, blending with the gentle breeze coming through the slightly open window. Paris stood up from the couch to stretch, moving around the living room in her cropped top and short pants with an easy, relaxed energy. Adam leaned back against the sofa cushions, his dark eyes following her every movement with a slow, appreciative smile as he took in the quiet beauty of the moment.
When a particularly slow, soulful song came on, Adam stood up from the sofa and stepped into her path, catching her hand and gently pulling her into the center of the room. Paris laughed softly, resting her hands on his bare shoulders as they began to sway together in the warm afternoon light. Adam wrapped both arms securely around her waist, drawing her so close that there was no space left between them. He dipped his head down, capturing her lips in a deep, lingering kiss that turned their playful dance into a slow, burning moment of pure affection, making the rest of the world melt away completely.
