Episode 2

Eirian reached out, his hand cupping her cheek, his thumb brushing against her lips. Astria leaned into his touch, her eyes never leaving his. The air between them was thick with tension, a palpable force that seemed to hum with energy.

He leaned in, his lips brushing against hers in a soft, exploratory kiss. It was a question, a silent plea for permission. Astria answered by parting her lips, her tongue meeting his in a dance of desire. Their kiss deepened, becoming a passionate exchange of need and longing. His hand moved from her cheek to her waist, pulling her closer, his body pressing against hers. Astria's hands found their way to his chest, her fingers tracing the lines of his dragon tattoos, a sensual exploration that sent shivers down his spine.

The bookshop faded away, leaving only the two of them, lost in a world of their own making, a world where the past no longer mattered, and the future was a blank canvas waiting to be painted with their love.

Eirian's hand slid down Astria's waist, his fingers tracing the curve of her hip before moving to the small of her back. He could feel the heat of her skin through the thin fabric of her shirt, and his body responded with a surge of desire. Astria's breath hitched as his hand moved lower, her fingers tightening on his chest as if she were trying to pull him closer. Their kiss deepened, becoming a wild dance of tongues and teeth, a primal expression of their need for each other.

"Eirian,"

She whispered, her voice barely audible, her breath hot against his lips.

"I need you." Her hands moved to his shirt, her fingers fumbling with the buttons as she pushed it open, revealing the dragon tattoos that adorned his chest. Eirian's heart pounded in his ears, his body aching with a desire that transcended time. He pulled her shirt off, his hands exploring her bare skin, his fingers tracing the lines of her butterfly tattoo. "Tell me your secrets, Eirian," she whispered, her voice hoarse with desire. "Let me know the darkness that haunts you."

His fingers traced the delicate lines of her tattoo, his touch igniting a trail of goosebumps on her skin. He could feel her heartbeat accelerating, matching the rhythm of his own. "My secrets are as old as the city itself," he murmured, his voice a low rumble that sent shivers down her spine. "But I'll share them with you, Astria. In the dark, in the light, in every moment we're together."

His hands moved to her back, unhooking her bra and letting it fall to the floor. Her breasts heaved with each ragged breath, her nipples hardening under his gaze. He leaned down, capturing one in his mouth, his tongue swirling around the sensitive peak. Astria gasped, her fingers tangling in his hair, pulling him closer. "Eirian," she moaned, her voice a husky whisper. "I want you inside me."

He looked up, his eyes meeting hers, a silent agreement passing between them. He lifted her onto the nearby table, pushing aside the books and papers that lay scattered across the surface. He unbuttoned her jeans, sliding them down her legs, his hands tracing the curve of her hips as he did so. Astria kicked off her shoes, her legs wrapping around his waist as he positioned himself between her thighs. The heat of her body was intoxicating, and he could feel his control slipping, his desire a wild beast within him.
