Eve stepped out of the bathroom, her hair wrapped in a towel, her skin glowing from the warm bath. She noticed Roman standing by the window, his eyes fixed on her. A flutter ran through her chest as she approached him.
"What are you doing in my room?"Eve asked, trying to sound calm despite the racing of her heart.
Roman turned to face her, a soft smile on his lips. "I missed you," he said, his voice low and husky. "I couldn't stay away".
Eve's cheeks flushed as she met his gaze. "You missed me?" She repeated, her voice barely above a whisper.
Roman nodded, his eyes locked on hers. "Yes. I've been watching over you from afar, but it's not the same as being near you. I had to see you, to make sure you're okay".
Eve's heart skipped a beat as she processed his words. She felt a mix of emotions~ surprise, curiosity and a hint of vulnerability. "Why?" She asked, her voice still soft.
Roman took a step closer, his eyes burning with intensity. "Because I care about you, Desire. Deeply.
The air seemed to vibrate with tension as Eve met Roman's gaze. She felt like she was drowning in his eyes, unsure of what to say or do next.
