Chapter 2: Building Tension
Alyssa leads Alex into the cozy living room, where the warm flicker of multiple candles cast a gentle glow over the space. The scent of vanilla fills the air, mingling with the faint scent of wax.
"Alex, I'd like you to meet Sara," Alyssa says, gesturing towards the brunette beauty curled up on the plush couch. Sara's deep green eyes glance up from her book and meet Alex' gaze, and he can't help but feel a jolt of attraction.
