Spicy scene ahead 👀

———🏎️———

After spending some time alone on the rooftop, Alexis felt a little calmer but still weighed down by the unresolved feelings churning inside her. The view had provided a brief respite, a chance to gather her thoughts, but the complexity of her emotions remained. As she wandered back downstairs, she found the villa eerily quiet. The vibrant energy that had marked their vacation was now replaced by a palpable stillness.

The kitchen was empty, save for Lando, who was sitting at the counter, his phone in hand. When he saw Alexis enter, his expression softened, and his gaze fell on her puffy eyes and blotchy cheeks. It was clear to him that she had been crying; her emotional turmoil evident in her appearance. The weight of their unspoken issues seemed to press down on him even more.

Alexis cleared her throat, her voice barely above a whisper. "Where is everyone?"

Lando looked up from his phone, his concern deepening. "They went out for a walk. I told them I'd stay behind... for you."

She nodded, acknowledging his gesture. The silence between them was heavy, charged with the emotions they hadn't yet addressed. Lando stood up, walking over to her, the distance between them seeming to shrink with every step. As he approached, their gazes locked, each of them silently communicating the burden they carried.

Lando reached out, gently placing his hand on Alexis' cheek. His touch was tender, and his thumb brushed away a stray tear that had escaped down her face. Alexis turned her head slightly, feeling exposed under his intense gaze. His touch was both comforting and disorienting, stirring feelings she had been trying to contain.

"Hey, look at me." He said softly, guiding her face back. The sincerity in his eyes made her heart ache.

With a careful and hesitant motion, he leaned in, his lips brushing over her tear-streaked cheeks, over and over. It was as if he was trying to soothe her pain with the gentle touch of his lips, each kiss a silent apology and a plea for understanding. She closed her eyes for a moment, savouring his touch.

Alexis opened her eyes again and placed a hand on his chest, her fingers feeling the steady beat of his heart beneath her palm. As his lips hovered near hers, the moment stretched on, filled with a mixture of anticipation and vulnerability. Lando's eyes flitted from her lips to her eyes, looking for a sign of how she felt.

Slowly, delicately, he captured her lips in a brief, gentle kiss. The touch was tender, a tentative exploration of the emotions they had both been holding back. He pulled back slightly, his eyes searching hers for a reaction.

In response, Alexis' emotions overflowed, and she closed the distance between them again. Their lips met once more, this time with a passionate intensity that conveyed all the love and heartache they had been suppressing. The kiss was a powerful exchange, a mingling of their feelings that transcended words.

As they finally pulled away, breathless and emotionally raw, the room seemed to regain some of its warmth. The kiss had bridged the gap between them, at least for that moment. Alexis rested her forehead against Lando's, both of them breathing heavily, their hearts beating in sync.

As if the dam had broken, Lando claimed her lips with his once more, his mouth hungry and desperate. Alexis responded with equal fervour, opening her mouth to welcome his exploring tongue. Their kiss was a dance of passion and longing, a release of all the tension that had built up between them. He tasted her, exploring the depths of her mouth, and she moaned softly, her hands gripping his shoulders, pulling him closer.
