I nod, reluctantly pulling away. "My apartment is ten minutes from here."

He nibbles my ear. “Ten minutes seems like a long time to wait.” He glances around at the empty area. “No one is watching.”

Something inside me springs to life, excitementfrom thethrill of his words.

My pulse quickens, need igniting sharply between us. I grasp his hand urgently. "I know where we can go," I whisper while getting off his knee.

We quickly navigate through silent aisles lined with forgotten books, finally reaching a secluded area filled with tax books and outdated indexes covered in dust. Lev pulls out a thick, ancient volume and shakes his head. "No wonder no one comes down here."

I giggle softly, but the sound is cut off as he swiftly pulls me into his arms, capturing my mouth again, hot and hungry. His hands slide under my sweater, his fingers brushing against my skin, making me shiver. I press myself closer, my breath hitching as his touch grows more urgent, more possessive.

My fingers find the buttons of his shirt, quickly unfastening them, eager for the warmth of his skin. Lev's hands slip beneath my skirt, his touch burning a trail up my thighs until he reaches my hips, gripping me firmly. He lifts me onto a sturdy shelf, books shifting precariously, but neither of us cares. My legs wrap around him instinctively, pulling him closer.

"Lev," I gasp softly, breathless as his mouth trails kisses down my neck, teeth grazing my skin. My hands urgently tug at his belt, freeing him swiftly, our movements quiet but intense.

He shifts my underwear aside, his gaze locked onto mine, dark and possessive as he pushes into me slowly, deeply, muffling my soft cry with another searing kiss. Pleasure floods through me, dizzying and powerful. Our bodies move together, quick and passionate, hidden yet utterly lost in each other.

I bury my face into his neck, biting down softly to suppress the moan rising in my throat. Lev's breathing quickens, becoming harsh and uneven against my ear, his grip on my hips tightening, driving deeper, harder, relentless. Pleasure coils tightly within me, building swiftly, overwhelmingly.

"Lev," I whisper urgently, my voice cracking with desire as I shatter around him, clinging tightly as he follows moments later, his quiet groan muffled against my skin.

We cling to each other, hearts racing, breaths mingling, wrapped in the secret intimacy we've stolen from the world.

Lev pulls back just enough to gaze deeply into my eyes, brushing my hair softly from my flushed cheeks. "No more hiding, Alina. From now on, you always tell me how you feel."

I smile warmly, my heart full and fearless at last. "No more hiding," I whisper, feeling the promise of forever settling comfortably into place.
