Erica emerged from the bathroom, steam swirling around her like a silken veil. The white bathrobe clung to her, softening her figure, while her hair was wrapped in a towel, droplets of water still glistening on her skin. She stepped to the mirror, the cool glass reflecting her as she began to apply moisturizer to her hands and neck.

As she focused on her reflection, a flicker of awareness jolted through her. In the mirror, she saw Kabir, propped against the headboard of the bed, his dark eyes fixed intently on her. He had woken late, the remnants of sleep still lingering in his gaze. The air thickened between them . Time stretched in that charged silence, each heartbeat echoing like a distant drum.

Kabir's expression was unreadable, a storm brewing beneath the surface, his eyes a mix of longing and restraint. She could feel the tension curling around them, a palpable force that made her breath hitch.

After a moment that felt like eternity, Erica turned slowly, her heart racing as she took a tentative step toward him. He rose from the bed, urgency mingling with hesitation as he closed the distance, their eyes locked in an electrifying gaze. The space between them was barely a step, yet it felt like miles away to Kabir.

As she reached for him, the air crackled with anticipation. She took another step forward, inching closer, the world outside fading into a blur. Everything hung in the balance-their past, their fights and the undeniable pull that drew them together.

Kabir's hands worked on its own as he grabbed her waist and pulled her in, closing the distance between them. His eyes locked onto hers, searching for something - a spark, a glimmer, a hint of what he yearned for in that moment. Erica's chest heaved as she gazed down, her eyes darting away from his intense stare. Her slender fingers trembled slightly as she placed her hands on his chest, as if to push him away, but her touch only seemed to fuel him.

Kabir's grip on her waist loses, misinterpreting her gesture as resistance. But Erica surprised him by placing her feet on top of his, tiptoeing up to meet his gaze. Her eyes fluttered up to his, and Kabir's grip on her waist tightened once more. He leaned in, his lips inches from hers, and Erica's breath caught in her throat.

Without hesitation, Kabir's lips crashed down on hers, claiming her mouth with a fierce intensity. Erica's arms wrapped around his neck, her fingers weaving through his hair as she pulled him closer. She parted her lips, granting him access, and Kabir devoured her mouth, sucking her lips hungrily. It was as if he was a starved man, deprived of her touch for far too long.

As they kissed, Erica's tiptoes began to falter, her legs weakening under the onslaught of Kabir's passion. But he held her fast, his hands wrapped around her waist, lifting her up off the ground. She was trapped between his bulky arms, a small doll caged by his embrace.

The kiss grew fiercer, Kabir's lips moving against hers with a desperate urgency. He sucked her tongue harshly, his hand holding her firmly but not roughly, as he pulled her head back, tilting it to deepen the kiss. Erica's soft hand rose to his cheek, her fingers tracing the contours of his face as she kissed him back with equal intensity.

As they stood there, lost in their passion, Kabir's hand slowly unwrapped her hair from the towel, letting the wet locks cascade down her back. The strands fell around her like a golden waterfall, increasing her beauty tenfold. His hand cradled the back of her head, pulling her closer, as he devoured her mouth more.

Both of them were lost in each other devouring each other's lips when Erica's chest began to rise and fall with increasing rapidity, her breaths growing shorter. Kabir, sensing her distress, pulled away from her with so much effort because he didn't want to, his eyes locked onto hers with an intense gaze . He joined his forehead to hers, and for a few seconds, the only sound was the heavy breathing that filled the air, a symphony of longing and desire. The world around them melted away, leaving only the two of them, suspended in a sea of longing.

Erica's eyes slowly gazed up at Kabir, her face flushed with a soft pink hue, like the first blush of dawn. As their gazes met, she felt so shy and tried to move away, but Kabir held her wrist from behind , his fingers wrapping around her like a gentle vice. "don't go!" he whispered, his voice ragged and breathy, like the rustling of leaves in an autumn breeze. He pulled her back into his arms, locking her waist in a possessive hold, his embrace of a sanctuary of safety and comfort. Their foreheads touched once more, and Kabir's eyes searched hers, his voice barely above a whisper, a gentle caress on her skin.

"Ericaa!!!"

"Hmmm," she murmured, her eyes drifting closed as their fingers intertwined, a gentle dance of connection.

Kabir's words tumbled out in a rush, his breath fanning her lips, sending shivers down her spine. "Come with me... He said gulping

"W-Where " Erica asked in a mere whisper!!

"far ...far from here. I just want to be with you, only you. I want to see the world with you!" His voice cracked with emotion

Erica's response was lost in the depths of her own emotions, like a shipwreck hidden beneath the waves. She didn't reply for a moment .

his insecurity growing with each passing moment, like a tender shoot reaching for the sun.

"You... you will come with me, na?" he asked again, caressing her lips with his thumb, his touch sending shivers down her spine, a gentle breeze on a summer's day.

"Hmmm," she whispered again, her head nodding almost imperceptibly, a subtle gesture of consent.

Kabir's face lit up with joy and he took her in his arms, lifting her off the ground like a bird taking flight.
He held her tight, his heart leaping with joy and his face shinned like sunlight.
In that moment, nothing else mattered.
Just the two of them, lost in their own little world , a universe of their own .
