"When sight is lost, the other senses become exceptionally sharp."
Leaning against Bennett's chest, Yvonne could clearly feel his breathing, his heartbeat, and the gentle rise and fall of his solid chest.
"It's just a minor malfunction. It's okay, don't be scared," Bennett soothed in his magnetic voice. Perhaps worried she was afraid, he leaned down and placed soft kisses on her forehead and lips.
The emergency call was answered quickly, and the maintenance crew resolved the issue in no time. The lights flickered back on, and the elevator resumed its normal operation.
The sudden return of light was a bit jarring, and Yvonne took a moment to adjust.
She buried her face in Bennett's chest, only opening her eyes once they had adjusted. She found herself still in his arms, his eyes looking down at her intently.
In the cramped space of the elevator, an inexplicable, ambiguous tension filled the air, and the temperature seemed to be rising.
Just then, the elevator arrived at their floor, and the doors slowly slid open.
Bennett averted his gaze and took her hand, leading her out of the elevator.
After the fingerprint scan, the apartment door opened.
Since it was a holiday, Helen, the housekeeper, had the day off. The only one in the large apartment was their dog, Bullet.
Hearing the noise, Bullet jumped up alertly. Seeing his owner, he started to leap forward excitedly but was gently nudged aside by Bennett's foot.
The lights in the apartment were off, the only illumination coming from the scattered moonlight and the shimmering reflection of the river.
In the dim, hazy light, the charged atmosphere returned.
Bennett swept Yvonne into his arms and strode toward the bedroom, his steady steps betraying a clear sense of urgency.
The bedroom door opened and closed. They tumbled onto the soft bed, entangled in each other's arms.
Kisses, caresses. A jacket, a shirt, and a pair of pants were tossed onto the floor, one by one.
