Their slow dance gradually wound down until they were barely moving, anchored entirely in each other's embrace in the middle of the room. Adam’s hands moved with practiced familiarity up from her waist, framing her face as his kisses grew deeper, hotter, and far more urgent. Paris wrapped her arms tightly around his bare neck, running her fingers through his dark curls as he effortlessly lifted her into his arms.
He carried her over to the long sectional sofa, setting her down gently onto the plush cushions before settling his body over hers. The living room was bathed in the warm, golden-orange glow of late afternoon as his mouth trailed fire down her neck and shoulder. Every touch felt heightened and electric in the quiet apartment. They surrendered completely to the deep, familiar passion that always drew them together, sharing breathless whispers and lingering touches as the golden daylight slowly faded outside.
