Reflections of Desire

The bedroom was softly lit, the glow of candles casting flickering shadows on the walls. In the corner stood a full-length mirror, reflecting the room and the couple that stood in the center of it. Ava admired her reflection, her eyes catching Tyler's as he stood behind her, his hands resting gently on her hips.

Tyler turned her towards him, kissing her deeply, their bodies swaying slightly in the embrace. As they broke apart, Ava giggled, resting her head on his chest. "You're beautiful," Tyler murmured, meeting her eyes in the mirror. She felt a warmth spread through her, the praise igniting something electric inside her. Her fingers played with the hem of his shirt before sliding it upward, their skin brushing as he helped shrug it off. She reveled in the sensation, the fabric brushing past her fingertips when his hands found the edge of her dress, pulling it over her head with careful slowness.
