OLESIA

The next morning, the house was quiet, the kind of quiet that made the small sounds of movement seem almost deafening. Theo was still asleep, preparing for another long night shift. Liam and I had the place to ourselves, and the lingering tension between us from last night felt like a live wire waiting to spark.

I was in the living room, Liam leaning against the kitchen counter with a cup of coffee, while I pretended to be focused on the book I was reading. But my mind was miles away, fixated on the electricity that crackled between us every time we were alone.

Liam broke the silence, his voice low and rough. I didn't even see him walk over to the couch. "So, what's the plan for today?"

I glanced over at him, my heart racing a little. "I don't know. Probably just hanging out. I need to relax, I feel like things have been so intense lately."

He looked at me, his gaze intense and searching. "Intense how?"

I let a beat of silence fall over us.

"Like...with you and me," I said, looking down at my book to hide my face. "It's been hard for me to keep things normal. I'm afraid that my self-control is waning."

Liam groaned, voice dropped even lower, his tone almost a whisper. "You can't say things like that to me, Olesia."

I felt a shiver at his words, my pulse quickening. I looked up at him, feeling the heat in the room.

His eyes locked with mine, filled with a mixture of desire and frustration. "It's like we can't stop, and every time we're together, it just gets harder." I said, my voice at a whisper as well.

I took a deep breath, my body tingling with anticipation. "I know what you mean." He replied.

Liam stepped closer, his hand reaching out to brush against my arm. "I want to explore this feeling that I have when I'm near you." He whispers to me like it's a secret.

I swallowed hard, the intensity in his gaze making it impossible to look away. The air between us felt charged, each small touch sending electric shocks through my body.

"I think we need to address it," I said, both of us whispering now. "We can't keep avoiding it."

He nodded, his gaze dropping to my lips. "What do you have in mind?"

Taking a leap of courage, I took a step forward , throwing my arms around his neck and crashing his lips to mine. The kiss was hungry and desperate, our emotions pouring into it. I close my arms tighter, pulling him closer, our bodies pressing together.

His hands trail down my sides and down my thighs to lift me up and sit me on his lap.

As we continued to kiss, my hands slipped under his shirt, feeling the hardness of his muscles beneath. Liam's hands gripped my waist, his fingers digging in as he deepened the kiss. The heat between us grew, the intensity of our passion reaching new heights.

I pulled back slightly, breathless, and spoke between kisses. "We need to be quiet. Theo is still asleep."

Without further words, he shut me up and captured his lips with mine. One of his hands trail up my back to wrap around the back of my neck. Space was nonexistent between us. The kiss was urgent, our mouths moving together harder and faster with a desperate need.

My hands roamed under his shirt, almost pushing it up as our kisses grew more passionate. I could feel his arousal growing beneath me, and it only fueled my desire. He wraps both of his arms around my waist tightly so he can grind up into me.
