Her breath caught at the sight of him, her eyes lingering on his tattoos and defined muscles in the low light.
Some time later, she lay beside him on the couch, still catching her breath. “Wow… you’re incredible. It’s been a long time since I’ve had sex this good.”
“I’m hitting the shower,” he said as he stood.
“Are you a Virgo or something?”
He paused. “What?”
“Your zodiac sign.”
“Don’t start with that horoscope bullshit.”
“Oh, come on. Just tell me.”
He rolled his eyes. “Pisces.”
“I once dated a Virgo who always ran to the shower after sex.”
“What else am I supposed to do? Watch a movie or cuddle?” he mocked.
“Can I join you?” she asked with a teasing smile.
“No.” Mano walked into the bathroom and shut the door.
She stayed on the couch, completely unfazed.
When he stepped out again with a towel around his waist, Ranya was already dressed.
“I’m heading out,” she said.
“Bye.”
“If you wanna do this again, you know where to find me.” She winked and walked out.
Earlier that evening, Anna had texted Ody to ask if she could come over. When the doorbell rang, he opened the door to find her smiling, a small backpack slung over her shoulders.
“Hi,” she said, kissing him before stepping inside. “Oh. Did you cook?” Her eyes lit up as she caught the smell.
“Penne with red sauce. And the white wine you like.” Ody smiled.
“You’re the sweetest boyfriend ever,” she said, wrapping her arms around his neck.
After dinner, they curled up on the couch to watch a movie. A few minutes in, Anna’s lips brushed along his neck, trailing upward.
Ody let out a quiet huff. “You’re missing the movie.”
“I have more interesting things to do.” She climbed over him with a playful grin.
Her kisses deepened, warm and slow, her hands exploring him with clear intention. Ody melted into her touch, letting the movie fade into background noise.
Later, they lay tangled together on the couch. Anna rested her head on his shoulder, placing a soft kiss on his neck.
He wrapped an arm around her and kissed her forehead. “Moro mu,” he whispered.
“I love you,” she murmured, looking into his green eyes.
“I love you too,” he said, pressing a soft kiss to her lips.
