Marcus's Kiss Stopped Time Forever

Either I'm Dead or My Watch Has Stopped The warm, golden light of the setting sun danced across the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean, casting a serene glow over the secluded villa perched atop the hillside. I stood at the edge of the infinity pool, my feet sinking into the cool stone as I gazed out at the endless expanse of sea and sky.

My watch, a gift from my lover, Marcus, lay still on my wrist, its face frozen at 8:47 PM. Either I'm dead or my watch has stopped, I thought wryly, my mind still reeling from the events of the past few hours. Marcus, a god among men with chiseled features and piercing blue eyes, had swept me off my feet from the moment we met. His rugged, athletic build and commanding presence had left me breathless, and I'd been powerless to resist his charms.

Tonight, we'd celebrated our anniversary with a candlelit dinner on the villa's rooftop terrace, the stars twinkling above us like diamonds. As we'd finished our wine and dessert, Marcus had risen from his chair, his eyes never leaving mine. "Let's take a walk," he'd said, his deep voice husky with desire. I'd nodded, my heart racing, and we'd strolled hand in hand along the winding path that led to the pool. Now, as the sun dipped below the horizon, Marcus stood behind me, his chest pressed against my back, his arms wrapped around my waist.

I felt his warm breath on my neck, sending shivers down my spine. "I love you," he whispered, his voice a low, throaty growl. I turned to face him, my eyes locking with his. "I love you too," I replied, my voice barely above a whisper. Marcus's eyes seemed to burn with an inner fire as he leaned in, his lips claiming mine in a kiss that left me breathless.

I felt his tongue probing my mouth, his hands sliding down my back to cup my buttocks, pulling me closer. I moaned, my body arching into his, as he lifted me off the ground, his lips never leaving mine. As we stood there, lost in the passion of the moment, I knew that time itself had stopped. The world around us melted away, leaving only the two of us, lost in a sea of desire. And in that moment, I knew that I was exactly where I was meant to be – in Marcus's arms, where I was safe, loved, and desired.
