31 parts Complete His rich, velvety voice sent thrills down my spine as he spoke my name. His intense, mesmerising gaze focused on mine, making it impossible to look away. As he drew me closer, his powerful arms wrapped around me, and I could feel the warmth of his breath against my skin. The aroma of his fragrance, a seductive blend of spice and musk, filled the air, making my heart race and my senses whirl. It's as if every aspect of him is intended to captivate and enchant me, keeping me completely entranced.

"I was just... talking," I said defensively. "It's called being social. You should try it sometime instead of lurking around like a spy."
He chuckled, "Lurking? Please. I was just passing by. I was surprised when I saw you laughing with those guys like you were starring in some rom-com."
I refuse to back down.
"And what if I was?" I challenged.
He didn't flinch. Instead, he tilted his head with a mock-thoughtful expression.
"Then I guess I'd have to remind you... there are better options around " he said, tapping his chest casually.
