Poem – "Awakening Desire"
✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿
In the quiet of dawn, hearts entwine,
A touch, a glance, your lips on mine.
Soft whispers break the fragile calm,
The world fades away in love's sweet charm.
Hands explore what words cannot say,
Bodies close, where desire holds sway.
In every heartbeat, a secret kept,
In every sigh, promises are wept.

Ariel woke to feel warmth surrounding her, the steady rhythm of a chest against her back. She slowly opened her eyes and realized she was wrapped in Horace's arms. A soft thrill ran through her; he hasn't left yet? she thought, a smile tugging at her lips as she remembered last night.
Horace stirred, sensing her gaze, and slowly opened his eyes.
"Morning, my love," he whispered, pressing a gentle kiss to her lips. "I can't believe you're staring at me."
"I—I wasn't staring at you," she stammered, cheeks warming. "Who—who said I was staring at you?"
