The Synchronization of Bodies
Every touch sends electricity through my skin - his hands on my waist, my thigh, my neck. Tian Xuning's attention is overwhelming, possessive, and exactly what I didn't know I needed. When he feeds me tofu from his chopsticks, his eyes devour me like I'm the most delicious meal. When he presses a cold glass against my lips and watches water drip down my throat, I can barely breathe. This isn't just friendship anymore. The lines are blurring between work and desire, between colleague and something infinitely more dangerous. He's jealous, I'm confused, and our bodies already know what our hearts are just beginning to understand - we're drawn to each other like magnets, and resistance might be futile.The hotel room feels suddenly small with both of us inside. Tian Xuning just confessed he read my messages, thought I had a date. The misunderstanding hangs in the air between us, thick with unspoken tension. "I'm sorry," he repeats, his usual confidence replaced by vulnerability. I can smell his cologne, feel the heat radiating from his body even from a few feet away. His eyes are red-rimmed like he might have been crying. Before I can respond, he takes a step closer, closing the distance between us. His hands hover near my waist, uncertain, as if asking permission. The air crackles with something I've never felt before - not with anyone. Every part of me is hyper-aware of him, of this moment that could change everything between us forever. My heart races as I see the conflict in his eyes - desire warring with the fear of rejection. He wants something I'm not sure I can give, but my body betrays me by leaning slightly toward him.
