He shouldn’t be watching you this much.
But it’s like he’s forgotten how not to.
You are sitting just a few rows ahead of him, your bare shoulder turned toward the late afternoon sun, the curve of your neck catching the light just so. The fabric of your dress brushes softly over your knees when you cross your legs.
You’re laughing at something someone says beside you. Easy. Bright. Like it’s second nature.
And Kylian feels it—a pulse in his chest, sharp and quiet. A beat of something that’s not new, but suddenly undeniable.
He isn’t the man who notices these things. He isn’t the man who sits quietly in the fourth row of a wedding, jaw slack, heart thudding like a teenager. He’s the one who keeps control. Who stays composed.
But you’re undoing him—and you don’t even know it.
The couple at the altar exchange vows. Soft music swells. Everyone around him sighs, touched.
But Kylian?
He’s still looking at you.
He presses his thumb against the edge of his glass, swallows once, and doesn’t take his eyes off you.
Because suddenly, he wants something he’s never let himself want before.
It’s later now. The sun has dipped behind the trees, casting long gold shadows across the stone patio and garden.
Guests are spread out—talking, drinking, dancing barefoot in the grass.
Kylian keeps close, always near enough to feel your laughter, to hear the lilting rise and fall of your voice in a story. But he gives you space. Because tonight isn’t about him. He doesn’t want it to be.
He just wants to watch you exist.
He leans against the door frame with his hands in his pockets, jacket discarded, collar unbuttoned. Someone passes and claps him on the back, but he barely registers it.
His eyes are still on you.
And the weight in his chest grows heavier.
It’s not longing. Not infatuation.
It’s gravity.
A truth that’s been building for weeks—two months, maybe—coalescing in the soft sway of your body to the music, in the curve of your smile, in the way you make everyone around you feel seen.
You turn, catch his eye across the hall.
And everything slows.
Like time wants to give him a moment.
You don’t smile right away—just look at him, gaze searching, like maybe you feel it too. And then you walk toward him.
Each step deliberate. Unhurried.
His heart stammers.
You stop in front of him, the night around you humming low with conversation and music.
“You’ve been staring,” you say softly.
He swallows. “Yeah.”
You wait. Something unreadable in your expression.
“Is there something you want to say?” you ask.
“No!” he declares with no hesitation. He shifts off the door frame, stands taller. His voice is steady, but quiet. Like a secret he’s been keeping from the whole world. “Just stunned that my girlfriend is THIS beautiful.”
Your lips part on a breath that catches at the back of your throat, but you manage to laugh slightly at his remark.
You don’t rush away from the celebration.
You dance slowly, once, when the music grows softer. Your cheek pressed to his chest, his arms wrapped around you like you’re the only real thing he’s ever touched.
Later, when the night thins and the stars take the sky, you take a ride home with him.
The car is dim and quiet, bathed in the occasional flicker of passing streetlights. The celebration is behind you now—the clinking of champagne glasses, the distant laughter, the echo of vows and promises made under strings of fairy lights.
You sit beside him, heels off, knees angled slightly toward his. The dress you’d worn tonight still held a subtle shimmer in the dark. It clung to you in places that makes his throat tighten more than once across the evening.
And you know.
You shift in your seat, glancing at him with a raised brow. “You’re staring again.”
He smiles, slow. Not denying it. Just watching you.
“Yeah,” he says.
You turn a little more toward him, curious. The city glides past you in soft blurs.
“So what’s up with that?”
He leans back against the leather seat, looking out the window briefly—then back at you. There’s something unreadable in his expression. Something heavy. But instead of answering, he smirks just slightly.
“You really enjoyed the wedding cake, didn’t you?”
You look at him for a beat, caught off guard. “—Huh?”
His grin widens. “You made that face. You know, the one when something is too good and you try to pretend it’s not?”
You narrow your eyes playfully, but there’s warmth in your voice. “Don’t change the subject.”
“I’m not,” he says innocently, eyes glinting. “Just pointing out how hard you tried to act cool while licking icing off your fork.”
You laugh—a quiet, soft sound—and lean your head back against the seat. “Alright, baby. You win.”
But after a few seconds, the silence returns. More thoughtful now. Weighted.
And the Unknown feels weirdly itchy on your skin and chest.
You turn to him again, more gently this time.
“Kylian.”
He glances over.
“You’re quiet tonight. Quieter than usual.”
His gaze lingers on you. There’s something in his eyes that makes your stomach tighten—a look that goes beyond teasing or flirtation. Something tender. Unspoken.
He breathes in, like he might say something.
But instead he says, “It was a beautiful wedding.”
You search his face. Your voice softens.
“It was.”
He looks down at your hands resting in your lap. He almost reaches for them. Almost.
“I think,” he says slowly, “there’s something about watching people promise forever to each other that… makes you think about things.”
“Yeah?”
He nods, then shifts his gaze back out the window.
But you notice the way his jaw tightens slightly. The way his fingers flex once on his knee.
There’s more there.
You know it.
The car rolls to a gentle stop outside your apartment.
The street is quiet—just the low hum of the city settling into night.
Inside the backseat, it’s dim. Warm.
He shifts beside you, his knee brushing yours, and neither of you moves away. The driver clears his throat softly, a signal.
Kylian nods. “I’ll walk you,” he says.
Your gaze flicks toward him—eyes warm, a little tired from the night, mascara slightly smudged at the corners.
“Okay,” you say.
Outside, the breeze is soft. The sky holds the last brushstrokes of blue and gold. He falls into step beside you, jacket slung over one shoulder, shirt unbuttoned at the collar, hand sliding easily into the pocket of his trousers.
You don’t say anything at first.
Not until you’re standing in front of your door, washed in the soft porch light.
Then—he smiles. A little sad, a little stunned. Like he’s still working up the courage for what’s coming next.
He’s looking at you.
Again.
Still.
Your brow lifts, your voice low but curious, teasing—softened by affection.
“That’s the same look,” you say. “From the wedding.”
He says nothing at first. His jaw ticks.
“What look?”
“That one,” you say. “The one where you act like I’m saying something, even when I’m not speaking at all.”
He doesn’t blink.
Your smile fades just slightly—not in a bad way. In that quiet, aware way. The moment where everything shifts and your stomach tilts with it.
You search his face.
“What’s going on with you tonight?”
He exhales, slow. Then steps a little closer.
His voice is low—lower than you’re used to hearing it. Serious, but not heavy. Just… stripped of all the usual polish.
“I’m trying not to say something I can’t take back.”
You swallow. Your heart stutters in your chest.
“What is it,” you say gently.
His eyes stay on yours. No smile. No mask.
And then—just like that:
“That I’m really in love with you.”
You freeze. Your breath leaves you in a soft, audible rush.
“I wasn’t going to say anything tonight. I didn’t want to make it about me. But watching you…” He shakes his head once, eyes soft, voice barely above the wind. “You lit up that whole room. And I just—realized I don’t want to spend a single moment in a world where I can’t love you out loud.”
A beat of silence. Then you exhale—like a weight lifts from you. And when your hand reaches for his, fingers brushing his gently—he closes his eyes. Because now it’s real.
The porch light flickers above you.
Your voice, when it comes, is quiet and stunned.
“I thought I imagined it,” you murmur. “The way you looked at me today.”
Silence again. The world has gone still.
Then—you step forward. Your fingers graze his shirt, resting lightly over his chest. Right above his heart.
Your eyes shimmer.
“No,” he says. “You didn’t.”
Your lips part. And then you let out a small, disbelieving laugh.
“Then you should probably come inside.”
His eyes search yours.
“After you, beautiful.”
Your hand wraps around his, warm and soft and trusting, as you lead him through the door.
The air in your apartment is still. Dim. The kind of quiet that holds a heartbeat. A breath. A pause between one life and the next.
Neither of you speaks.
You don’t rush to turn on lights. Don’t fuss. Just turn toward him, the front door clicking softly shut behind you, and look up into his eyes.
He’s already looking at you.
Not with hunger.
Not with want.
With something heavier. Something softer. Like the sight of you, here, in this moment—with your dress creased from the car ride, your lips parted like you’re not sure what comes next—is too much and not enough all at once.
He notices the slight tremor in your hands, the quickening of your breath. His voice softenes, barely more than a breath itself, as he steps closer, eyes searching yours with gentle concern.
“Are you nervous?” he asks, steady and calm. “Do you want me to leave?”
You meet his gaze, voice trembling but certain.
“No… I... I want you here.. with me.”
Your words hung between the two of you, fragile yet fierce. He reaches out slowly, fingertips tracing the line of your jaw, anchoring you both in the quiet intensity of the moment. The space around you seems to hold its breath, filled with unspoken promises and the raw tenderness of first time — a delicate dance between hesitation and desire.
He closes the distance between you, his lips brushing yours with a tenderness that felt like the softest brush of a feather against your skin. The world around you fades, leaving only the warmth of his mouth, the gentle pressure, and the quiet thunder of your heartbeat in your ears.
The kiss deepens slowly, deliberately—like a slow-burning flame awakening from a long slumber. His lips move with reverence, soft yet confident, sending waves of heat pooling low in your stomach and spreading outwards, making your breath hitch. Every touch, every slight parting of your mouths, is a conversation without words, filled with longing and the promise of something sacred.
You feel yourself melting into him, the tension in your body unraveling with each passing second, replaced by a trembling anticipation you had never known before. His breath mingles with yours—warm, steady—and the world slips further away until nothing exists but the two of you, connected in a delicate, electric stillness.
Your lips drift away, reluctant as dusk leaving the sky, and in the silence between heartbeats, your eyes find his. He looks at you like a man waking into a dream he never wants to leave — dazed, breathless, and beautifully lost
“I want your hands on me,” you whisper, voice soft but charged with quiet strength—a plea wrapped in trust.
His thumb brushes across the back of your hand.
Something flickers across your face. Surprise. Warmth. Then—understanding.
And without another word, you step closer.
And press your mouth to his.
It starts soft. A brush of lips. A question.
But the answer is clear in the way he deepens it. The way his hand rises to cradle the side of your face, thumb grazing your cheek like you’re made of something fragile.
The way he’s tasting the word love on your lips. Like he’s memorizing the way you feel now that he’s allowed to feel it all.
Like he’s holding the moment he fell in love.
Your fingers find the hem of his shirt, slip beneath it—slowly exploring the warmth of his skin, the steady beat of something too big to name.
You whisper his name against his lips, your voice trembling with the weight of all the unspoken words between you.
The silence is heavy with understanding, and more than that—invitation.
You step backward, leading him until the backs of your knees meet the mattress. He follows you with the same quiet intensity he’s had all night, eyes never leaving yours. Your fingers reach for the hem of his shirt and slide it down his muscular arms—slowly. You run your palms down his bare chest, fingertips brushing over muscle, bone, heat. He exhales through his nose when your touch trails lower, steadying himself with a hand at your waist.
When you drop your dress, and stand before him fully bare, he stares.
He freezes.
Because you’re beautiful—yes—but it’s more than that.
You are open.
Trusting.
Vulnerable in a way that guts him.
He steps forward and touches your face, brushing a knuckle across your cheek. Then, softly—reverently—he says, “Come here.”
You meet at the edge of the bed. You lie back, and he follows, coming over you slowly, careful not to rush. His body covers yours, skin on skin, a perfect fit. He kisses you again—not deep, not rough, but tender and aching, as if this kiss is something sacred.
When he settles between your legs, you open for him instinctively. Your thighs wrap around his hips, and you arche toward him.
Your bodies shift together.
The light from the hallway spills across your bare skin, turning you into something golden.
And for a moment, he just looks at you.
“I want this to mean everything,” he says, low and quiet. “I want you to know this isn’t just a moment for me. It’s you.”
“I know,” you breathe, reaching for him. “That’s why I’m letting you in.”
He smiles brightly enough to light the darkness and then his mouth finds your collarbone. Your shoulder. The slope of your breast. Kisses slow and reverent, like he’s memorizing every inch of you with his lips. His hands trace your ribs, the curve of your waist, the hollow just below your stomach—mapping you like he wants to carry the knowledge forever.
You let out a shaky breath as his body comes over yours. His forehead rests against your own, both of you trembling with the weight of it all.
Your eyes flutter shut, your mouth opens in a silent gasp, and his name falls from your lips like prayer.
“Look at me,” he whispers.
You do.
He lines himself up, moving in closer, his body pressed to yours. The tip of him nudged your entrance, slow, teasing. He watches your face, needing to see it all.
And then—he begins to slide inside. You gasp. Your hands grip his shoulders. Your breath trembles. And he stills halfway in, pressing his forehead to yours.
“Is that good?” he whispers.
You nod—but he sees it: the tiny shiver that runs through you from how deep it feels already. From the weight of what it means.
There’s no world. No noise. No history.
Just the rhythm of two hearts beating in time.
His hand cradles the back of your head, pulling you closer with every slow, deep movement. You hold him to you like you’re afraid he’ll vanish. Every inch of skin that touches feels awake. Overwhelmed. Worshipped.
You moan his name against his jaw, your voice shaking.
And he answers with a kiss so full of love it steals the breath from your lungs.
His body pressed fully into yours, his hands cradling you like he’ll never let go.
He cups your cheek again, thumb brushing your bottom lip. Your foreheads rest together, noses brushing. He pushes in a little more—slowly, steadily—and your lips part with a broken sound that never quite becomes a word.
Your eyes flutter open.
And that’s when it happens.
You look at each other.
Fully.
No filters. No guarded glances.
Just him, you, and this shared, breathless realization that there is no going back.
His gaze—dark, wide, vulnerable—locks onto yours as he sinks fully into you. You shiver again, your body adjusting, wrapping around him with quiet desperation.
The air between you disappears.
He doesn’t move—not yet.
He just looks at you.
And what’s on his face isn’t just lust.
It’s awe. It’s something devotional. Like he’s never seen anything so intimate. So human. So yours.
Your eyes fill from being so seen. So fully, completely wanted.
“You feel like everything I never knew I was missing,” he whispers, voice cracked.
Your lips tremble.
“So do you.”
The heat between you had weight, like the buildup of months and the breaking open of something new.
You gasp, hips rolling up into his . He leans down to kiss you, slow and deep.
“You’re a pretty girl, aren’t you?” he whispers into her mouth.
“So pretty, you know exactly how to wreck a man like me.”
You moan, breath hitching.
“That’s it,” he whispers, voice shaking. “That’s it.”
“I’m gonna love you right,” he says, voice rough. “All the way in…”
He presses forward slowly—thick and deep, stretching you until you feel a heat wave shocking your body.
“All the way out…” he pulls back, then sinks in again, smoother this time.
“All the way in… all the way out… until you make me cum.”
He kisses you again, lips soft against yours even as his hips begin a steady rhythm.
“And I know for sure…” he groans into your ear, “you’re gonna be really good at that.”
You cling to him, legs wrapped around his waist, hands gripping his shoulders.
“Oh god… I love you so much,” you breathe, voice cracking with it.
He slows for a moment, eyes locked on yours.
“Look at me,” he says, thumb under your chin, making your eyes meet his.
“I want you to come.”
You whimper, trembling beneath him, your body starting to tighten around him.
“Ohhh yesss…” he moans as you clench around him, his rhythm stuttering.
“You’re so fucking creamy…” he gasps, thrusting harder now. “You feel like heaven, fuck—yes—yes…”
You break first, crying out, nails raking down his back, body arching into his.
“That’s it,” he murmurs against your throat. “That’s it.”
He kisses you. Then begins to thrust fast.
Faster.
Deeper.
Desperate.
And the look never fades—not from his face, or yours. He watches you fall apart inch by inch, not with frenzy, but with full awareness—memorizing how your lips part when he hits just right, how your brows draw together, how you moan his name like it’s the only thing keeping you grounded.
And you watch him too.
His lashes flutter.
His mouth opens on a sharp exhale.
His rhythm falters every time you tighten around him, like your body alone is capable of undoing him completely.
Your hands stay connected—his gripping yours above her head, fingers laced tight.
A wave of heat and tremble, of breath caught in throats, of soft cries and shuddering sighs. Your bodies tremble together, wrapped up in each other, as he presses as deep as he can and holds you there—inside, around, with him.
Even then—he doesn’t look away.
Not even once.
Not until your eyes flutter closed beneath the weight of it all, and you exhale his name like a prayer answered.
“Kylian— please don’t stop. Don’t you stop.”
“You feel too good to stop, baby.” He leans in again, harder now, dragging his hips against yours like he is trying to blur the line between where you end and he begins.
“You were made for this,” he murmurs. “For me.”
“I love you,” you whisper again, voice shaking. “I love you so much.”
He kisses you hard then—tongue and teeth and heat—like he needs to get the words into his own mouth.
Your body clenches around him, hips rocking up to meet every thrust.
“Mm... Give me what I want…” he groans, deep in his chest. “Come for me. Let go for me. Do you wanna come for me.”
You nod, almost frantic now, hands gripping his shoulders like you are trying to hold onto gravity.
“You’re gonna squeeze me just right,” he whispers, thrusting harder now, just a little rougher. “Just like that. You’re gonna make me cum, baby.”
“I can’t—” you gasp, legs trembling. “I’m gonna—”
“Let go,” he says, voice rough. “Come with me.”
His voice is a rasp.
And when you come—soft and slow, like a wave rising and cresting and finally breaking—he holds you through it, his arms wrapped tightly around you, forehead against yours.
He follows not long after, groaning your name against your mouth, his release full, shuddering, whole.
You don’t move for a long time.
Just lie there, tangled in sheets and breath and silence.
Still inside you, still pressed to you like your bodies can’t bear to be parted just yet. Your breathing is soft against his neck, your arms around him loose, but clinging.
He shifts slightly, enough to ease himself out of you, and you let out the faintest sigh. Not of discomfort—of loss. And he feels it too. That ache. That closeness fading by just inches.
His heart is hammering, not from the pleasure—but from the way you looked at him just before you came apart. Like you’ve always loved him and he’s scared he’d let you down.
So he doesn’t go far.
He gathers you against his chest, wrapping an arm around your bare back, holding you tightly. His other hand cups your head gently, his fingers threading through your hair as if to memorize the texture.
His fingers trace slow, aimless circles on your bare back. You rest your head on his chest, eyes closed, body warm and boneless with contentment.
He smiles into your hair.
He’s afraid.
Afraid of how much he feels.
For a while, you just breathe.
No words.
Only heartbeats.
The night hums around you—quiet, low, intimate. A single lamp glows somewhere in the corner, bathing you in soft gold light. Your skin is warm against his, your cheek pressed to his chest.
He wonders if you can hear it.
The beat.
The ache.
The way it skips every time he realizes this isn’t just sex.
It never was.
“Say something,” you whisper finally.
He swallows hard. His voice is rough when he answers.
“I don’t know how.”
You lean back slightly to look at him, the sheet falling away from your shoulder, revealing skin he kissed only minutes ago.
You look wrecked.
Beautiful.
And somehow still just… you.
You don’t rush him. Don’t demand confessions. But the softness in your eyes tells him he can’t stay quiet. Not now.
So he breathes in.
And he lets go.
“I’m scared,” he says.
You tilt your head. “Of what?”
“Of how much I love you.”
Your lips part.
He brushes his thumb across your cheek.
“I’ve never said that to anyone before,” he adds, voice low, almost broken. “Not like this. Not while still feeling you everywhere. Not while still hearing you whisper my name like it meant something.”
Your eyes shine. Your fingers tighten on his side.
“It does mean something,” you say. “It means everything.”
He exhales. His forehead rests against yours.
“I didn’t know I could feel this way about someone,” he admits. “It’s terrifying. And… the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”
“You’re allowed to be scared,” you whisper. “So am I.”
And then he pulls you closer, tucks you fully into his arms, and breathes in the scent of you hair like it’s the last safe thing in the world.
You lay your palm flat over his heart.
“You’re safe with me,” you whisper.
And for the first time in his life, he believes it.
Truly.
🥺 why am I soft over something I wrote. Lmao
