"Oh, what a lovely couple! Are you newlyweds?" said the kind lady at the reception with a warm smile. "You look so adorable. Here, here are your keys. Thank goodness we have hot water, hurry up, you don't want to get sick."

The lobby of the small hotel was decorated with antique furniture and paintings of bucolic landscapes. The aroma of wood and freshly brewed coffee filled the air, creating a cozy and homely atmosphere.

—The room will be in the name of... —the receptionist asked expectantly.

Alan and I looked at each other for a second, sharing a knowing smile before he turned to the nice lady.

—A... Sailub, in the name of Sailub, please —he said with a mischievous smile.

I had to suppress the urge to laugh. Where had he gotten that name from?

—Okay, should we stay? —I asked as we headed to the room.

"Yes, it is dangerous to travel when it rains. Don't worry," Alan replied in a reassuring tone.

The rain was softly hitting the windows, creating a soothing melody. He opened the door to the room and by the time I entered, I had taken a few steps when I felt him take me by the arm and turn me so that my back was against the door.

"Nu..." he said in a hoarse whisper, bringing his face close to mine. I could feel his breath mixing with mine and everything starting to spin. He began to gently caress from below my ear to my chin, and a shiver ran through my skin.

At that moment, my heart was pounding. The intensity of my feelings frightened me, but at the same time, it filled me with an indescribable warmth.

—Step 3... Can we? —he asked in a broken voice.

I barely managed to nod before his lips met mine. The kiss was tender and full of emotion, as if we were both trying to convey everything we were feeling at that moment. His lips were soft and warm, and every touch made me feel closer to him. I missed him so much. I really, really wanted to kiss him.

The kiss stopped, but we were still close, so close. I didn't want it to end. All other thoughts had vanished from my brain. I opened my eyes and whispered:

-Again.

The corner of his lips lifts, and then he kisses me again. Not so gently this time. He lets go of my face and grabs me by the waist, pulling me against his body. A low moan escapes him, and the sound drives me completely crazy. I lose control. I wrap my hands around his neck and kiss him uncontrollably. I can feel his heart pounding next to mine, his breathing quickening, his arms holding me tight.

We slowly pulled apart, and Alan rested his forehead against mine, breathing deeply. I felt his warm breath on my skin and held my eyes, enjoying the moment. The room was shrouded in soft dimness, with the distant sound of falling rain creating an intimate and cozy atmosphere.

"We have to... you'll get sick," he said in a shaky whisper, his voice filled with worry and tenderness. I could feel the mixture of fear and love in her words, as if every syllable was imbued with his emotions.

"You too," I replied, my breathing still ragged. My heart was pounding, and a wave of warmth and security washed over me from being so close to him. I could hear him gulping, his nervousness palpable in the air.

—Come on... let's go together— he said in a trembling whisper before kissing me again. His lips met mine in a kiss full of tenderness and promises, while everything else ceased to exist, leaving just the two of us in that magical moment. I felt a current of electricity run through my body, and every caress, every sigh, was engraved in my memory like a priceless treasure.
