In the aftermath, we’re entwined, a tangle of limbs and satisfied sighs. He kisses me tenderly, a stark contrast to the ferocity of moments before. There's a new fragility in the air, a vulnerability we've laid bare in the wake of our passion.

"Never let me go," I plead softly, the words spilling unchecked.

"Never," he vows, and I believe him. In this chaotic world, in the tempest of our lives, we've found an anchor in each other. We lie there, hearts synchronized, the echo of our desire lingering like the sweetest melody, a song that's ours alone.

The room breathes with us, every shadow and whisper an extension of our shared pulse. The sweat glistens on Blaze's inked skin, intricate patterns that seem to dance in the post-coital haze. His chest heaves, a silent testament to the fervor we've just unleashed.

"Damn, Nova... that was..." He trails off, eyes dark pools of wonder, his voice a husky melody that vibrates against my flesh.

"Beyond words," I finish for him, my own voice a mere whisper, but it's enough. It's always enough with him. We're tangled together, a mess of limbs and damp sheets that bear the evidence of our hunger.

"Will you always want me?" I murmur, tracing the lines of a phoenix tattoo on his arm. It's more than a plea. It's a bare need that echoes from the hollow places within me.

"Yes, beautiful," he replies, his fingers intertwining with mine, strong yet careful, as if he's holding something precious. Something irreplaceable. "Always."

"Blaze..." I start, but emotions clog my throat. The vulnerability is a raw ache inside me, one I'm only willing to show him. I'm not just exposing my body to him. I'm baring my soul.

"Shh, I know." His lips graze my forehead, a benediction that soothes the tremors still rippling through me. "I've got you."

His words are a blanket, wrapping around me, and I happily snuggle into his embrace.

CHAPTERSEVEN

Blaze

I slidethe last candle into the sand, its flame flickering like a dancer in the dusk. The beach is our canvas, and I'm about to paint Nova's perfect evening. A salty breeze teases the edges of the blanket, whispers promises only I aim to keep.

"Wow, Blaze," Nova breathes out, her voice a melody over the ambient murmur of the ocean. "This is...incredible."

"Only the best for you," I say, heart thumping erratic beats against my chest. It's not just the setup—it's the shared smiles, the secrets nestled between us, growing heavier as the day bleeds into night.

She settles onto the blanket, tucking a stray lock of sun-kissed hair behind her ear—a small gesture that punches the air from my lungs. How can something so simple be my undoing?

"Thank you, for all of this." Her eyes shine, reflecting the candlelight, those delicate tattoos on her wrist catching shadows.

"Anything for you, Nova." My words feel like a confession, a pledge. I take my spot beside her, close enough that our thighs brush, sending jolts of electricity skittering across my skin. She's a free spirit with such a pretty facade, but underneath it all, Nova is so delicate and fragile. It makes my need to protect her roar to life.

"Today was amazing," she continues, nestling deeper into the pillows. "I've never met anyone who gets me like you do."

We spent the whole day in each other's arms and with me inside her body. It's been nothing short of surreal.

Tonight, the beach is ours, the rest of the world nothing but a distant hum.

"Let's just stay here forever," she sighs, and in the echo of crashing waves and crackling candles, I silently vow to make it happen, whatever it takes.

The sun dips low, bleeding out the last of its fiery hues into the horizon. The beach is quiet, serene—our private canvas painted in strokes of twilight. Waves whisper secrets as they kiss the shore, a rhythmic lullaby that syncs with my pulse. This is the moment I've been waiting for—the perfect setting to show Nova just how deep my desire for her runs.

"Look at this," I murmur, gesturing toward the orange and purple sky reflecting off the water's surface. "It's like the universe is showing off just for you."

"Blaze, it's beautiful." Nova's eyes are wide, mirroring the ocean's vast expanse, and I can almost taste the salt on her lips from here.

I watch her, heart hammering against my ribcage, as she takes in the scene. There's something elemental about her silhouette against the dying light—like she's both the calm and the storm. My hands itch to trace her form, to pull her close enough that our shadows merge into one.

"Wait until you see what I have for you." I reach for the picnic basket, feeling like a damn magician as I reveal her favorite decadent chocolate truffles, an array of exotic fruits, and a bottle of the crisp white wine she adores. Her gasp is my reward, a sweet sound I want to capture and replay in the darkest hours.

"Blaze, you remembered!" She claps her hands together, a spark of childlike joy flitting across her face.

"Of course, I did. I remember everything about you." It's true—every detail she's ever shared burns bright in my mind, an obsession that keeps me up at night.
