Chapter 2: Building Tension
She could feel his gaze burning into her skin, sending shivers down her spine. Amber fought against the growing desire within her, trying to ignore the fluttering sensation in her chest. But despite her best efforts, she found herself glancing back at Saabir again and again, unable to tear her eyes away from his striking presence.
As the bell rang, signaling the end of class, Amber gathered her things and hurried out of the room, anxious to escape the intensity of Saabir's stare.
But as soon as she stepped outside, she found herself face to face with him once again.
"Hi there," he said, smiling warmly at her. "I don't think we've been properly introduced."
Amber hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to say. "I'm Amber," she finally managed to utter. "And you're...?"
"Saabir," he replied, extending his hand towards hers. "It's nice to meet you."
His touch sent shockwaves through her body, leaving her breathless and weak-kneed.
