We fell in love in math class

Chapter 4 "The in and out method"

Ethan pinned Xyleme to the bed, leaning in close to his ear, his warm breath sending shivers down Xyleme's spine.

Xyleme's POV:

I watched as Ethan's lips got closer, brushing against my skin before moving to my chest. I could hardly breathe, too embarrassed to even look at him.

Ethan's lips met my skin, sending a jolt through my body. I clenched my eyes shut, thinking, "What is happening? This is too much!"

Ethan's POV:

Seeing him try to hide his face like that... it made me want to tease him even more. I couldn't help but smirk. I leaned down, my lips grazing his skin, enjoying the way he reacted to every touch.

Slowly, I moved closer, savoring the moment.

Xyleme: “Ethan, what are you doing…?”

I could barely get the words out before he kissed me again, his hands exploring my skin, sending a mix of confusion and excitement rushing through me.

Ethan's POV:

I raised his leg slightly, trailing kisses along it, feeling him squirm beneath me. “You don’t like it, but your body tells me otherwise...” I teased, seeing his cheeks flush even deeper.

Xyleme: "Ow! That hurts! Are you a dog or something?!"

Ethan: "Maybe I am... your dog."

Xyleme: "Seriously? You need to stop acting like this or people will think you have rabies!"

The banter gave way to more intimate, quiet moments between them. The room was filled with sounds of gentle laughter and whispers, each touch bringing them closer together. The air felt heavier, thick with the tension of their closeness, as the two of them navigated the line between friendship and something deeper.
