Alessia pulled back slightly, her breath hitching as she looked into Logan's eyes. There was a spark there, an undeniable chemistry that had drawn her in since the moment they met. But amidst the heat of the moment, a question lingered at the back of her mind.
"Logan," she began, her voice steadier than she felt. "What are we doing here?"
He smirked, brushing his thumb along her cheek, sending shivers down her spine. "Just exploring a connection. Nothing too serious, right?"
She bit her lip, trying to gauge his intentions. "You mean like... a casual thing?" The idea was tempting, especially since she wasn't ready for anything heavy, but she needed to know where he stood.
"Exactly," Logan replied, his gaze steady and sincere. "I'm not looking for a relationship with all the labels and expectations. Just two people seeing where this goes. No pressure."
Alessia hesitated. She had seen how complicated relationships could become, especially with her own family dynamics weighing heavily on her. "And you really think that'll work?"
"Why not?" he shrugged, his casual demeanor easing her nerves. "We're both in college. We're young. Let's have some fun without getting tangled up in all that drama."
His words resonated with her. Maybe she could let loose a little, explore this chemistry without overthinking it. "Okay," she said slowly, a smile creeping onto her face. "I'm in. Let's see where this goes."
"Great," Logan said, his expression brightening. "No strings attached. Just good times. We can keep it light and easy."
"Sounds good to me," she replied, feeling a rush of excitement mixed with relief.
As they leaned in again, their lips met softly, the kiss rekindling the heat from moments before. Alessia felt herself melting into him, the tension from earlier dissipating. They kissed, and for the first time in a long while, she felt a sense of freedom.
But just as things began to heat up again, Alessia pulled back, her thoughts racing. "What about... you know, other people?"
Logan chuckled, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. "As long as we're honest about it, I don't mind. Just a casual connection, right?"
"Yeah, let's keep it casual," Alessia echoed, feeling a sense of ease settle over her.
Logan's grin widened, and he leaned in again, kissing her deeper this time, their chemistry igniting like fireworks. Alessia felt herself getting lost in the moment, her hands finding their way to his hair, pulling him closer. The world around them faded, and all that mattered was the warmth radiating between them.
As they finally pulled apart, breathless, Alessia's heart raced—not just from the kisses, but from the thrill of the unknown. "So, what's the plan?" she asked, her voice teasing but genuinely curious.
"Well," Logan replied, a playful glint in his eye, "I hear there's a party at the Delta house later. We could check it out, maybe show off our 'casual connection' to the world."
"Are you suggesting we become the hottest non-couple in the room?" Alessia laughed, feeling lighter with every word.
"Absolutely," he said, his tone mock-serious. "I mean, who wouldn't want to see us in action?"
"Alright, I'm game," she said, feeling a mixture of excitement and nerves. "But you have to promise not to leave me hanging if someone else shows up."
"Deal," Logan said, his eyes locking onto hers with an intensity that made her heart flutter. "But I'll warn you—if I see someone trying to swoop in, I might get a little protective."
"Protective? You?" Alessia raised an eyebrow, amused. "I thought this was all about keeping it casual."
"It is! But that doesn't mean I won't defend my turf," he replied, his tone light but earnest. "Just because we're not labeling anything doesn't mean I want to share."
She felt a warmth in her chest at his words, an unexpected flutter of something deeper. "Okay, I can live with that."
"Good," he said, leaning in closer again. "Now, how about we seal the deal with another kiss?"
Alessia smiled, leaning in once more. This kiss felt different—more electric, charged with the thrill of their new agreement. She pulled back, laughing softly. "You really know how to keep things exciting."
"That's the plan," Logan replied, a confident grin on his face. "We're going to have a lot of fun together, Alessia."
As she looked into his eyes, she realized she didn't know what the future held, but for now, this felt right. They were stepping into something new, a casual adventure that could lead to endless possibilities.
