PAST

The prom night was a magical affair, a night filled with the promise of romance and mystery. The theme was masquerade, and the ballroom was adorned with twinkling lights and shimmering decorations, casting a spell of enchantment over the attendees.

He had spent weeks agonizing over what mask to wear, wanting to choose one that would capture her attention and draw her to him like a moth to a flame. And as he stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the feathers on his mask, he couldn't help but feel a surge of nervous excitement coursing through his veins.

As the music began to play and the dancers took to the floor, he watched her from across the room, her beauty illuminated by the soft glow of the candlelight. She looked ethereal in her gown, her eyes sparkling with laughter and joy.

Summoning every ounce of courage he possessed, he made his way through the crowd, his heart pounding with anticipation. And when he finally reached her side, he held out his hand, his mask hiding the nervousness that threatened to consume him.

"May I have this dance?" he asked, his voice barely a whisper as he gazed into her eyes.

She looked up at him, her lips curving into a smile that stole his breath away. "I would be delighted," she replied, her hand slipping into his as if it belonged there.

As they moved onto the dance floor, the world around them seemed to fade away, leaving only the two of them in their own private bubble of existence. The music swirled around them, a symphony of passion and desire, as they moved together in perfect harmony.

Their bodies pressed close, the heat of their proximity sparking a fire that threatened to consume them both. And as they danced, their movements fluid and graceful, he felt a connection between them that was impossible to ignore.

Her scent enveloped him, filling his senses with a heady mix of jasmine and vanilla. It was intoxicating, maddening, driving him to the brink of madness with desire. He buried his face in her hair, inhaling deeply, as if trying to imprint her scent onto his soul.

Their chemistry was palpable, electric, as if every touch sent shockwaves through their bodies. Their bodies moved in perfect sync, the music guiding their every step. His hand rested firmly on the small of her back, pulling her close, while her fingers intertwined with his, creating a connection that seemed to transcend time and space.

Their breath mingled in the air between them, warm and shallow, as if they were sharing the same oxygen, the same heartbeat. With every step, every sway of their hips, their proximity grew closer, until there was barely a sliver of space between them.

The sound of their harsh breathing filled the room, drowning out the music and the laughter of the other dancers. It was as if the world had fallen away, leaving only the two of them in their own private cocoon of intimacy and desire.

Their hearts drummed in unison, a primal rhythm that echoed through their bodies, urging them on. With every beat, their passion burned brighter, until it was a blazing inferno that threatened to consume them both.

And as they moved together, their bodies pressed against each other with a fervent urgency, he felt a surge of desire coursing through his veins. He longed to lose himself in her, to drown in the depths of her gaze and the warmth of her embrace.

Their eyes locked, a silent communication passing between them, as if they were speaking a language all their own. And in that moment, he knew that he would give anything to hold her like this forever, to never let her go.

But as the music faded and the dance came to an end, he reluctantly released her from his grasp, his heart heavy with the knowledge that this moment, this fleeting taste of intimacy, would soon be nothing more than a memory.

"Bye" she whispered, leaving him to savor the warmth of her touch, the sweetness of her breath, and the overwhelming feeling of being truly alive in her arms.
