Chapter 3: First real challange
The airport's duty-free shop was a glittering labyrinth of scents and sounds, a far cry from the cozy intimacy of Amy's apartment. Mattias trailed behind Amy, his eyes darting between the towering displays of designer perfumes, each one more exotic and enticing than the last. The air was thick with a hundred different aromas, a bewildering symphony that made his head spin and his heart race.
Amy turned to him, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "So, what do you think? Any catch your fancy?" she asked, her voice echoing slightly in the vast space.
Mattias hesitated, his eyes scanning the countless bottles. He felt a bead of sweat trickle down his spine, a mixture of excitement and apprehension coursing through him. He knew Amy liked to tease, to push his boundaries, but this was different. This was public.
"I-I don't know, Amy," he stammered, his eyes landing on a display of perfumes that looked dangerously expensive. "I'm not really an expert on this sort of thing."
Amy chuckled, a low, throaty sound that sent a shiver down Mattias' spine.
