– Come on! What are you waiting for? Let’s go! – As soon as he said that, she ran outside.

As she stepped onto the surface, she realized they were on the Moon. She felt immense joy. She was incredibly happy to be there. She loved it. Too much. To her, the Moon was something special and beautiful.

She concluded that it wasn’t full, but only about 70% full. She observed every little part of it. Orion joined her.

– We are here! – he exclaimed happily.

– Why the Moon? – she asked, her attention still focused on the Moon rather than on him.

– Because I know you love the Moon.

– I have to admit, this is one of the best things you’ve ever done for me – she said, as her violet eyes sparkled under the moonlight.

For a second, she looked away from the Moon and glanced at Orion. And then, everything stopped...

She saw him smiling gently at her. He had never done that before. It was a special smile, completely different and more unique than anything else in this universe. A smile that selfishly steals your breath and one you write about until your last breath. The moonlight slowly filled the dimples on his cheeks as he kept smiling and looking at Arabella with eyes full of love. And she, she felt like she was in another dimension. She was losing parts of herself because of the attention he gave her.

– Come here – he said, taking her hand again.

For a moment, she returned to reality. The stardust caused by their hand-holding followed their walk and blended with the Moon. The bond between them grew even stronger. After walking across its surface, Orion brought her to a certain spot and stopped.

– Sit – he said gently, and then they both sat on the edge.

Their legs dangled into the endless atmosphere of the cosmos. They were surrounded by different stars. They could even see a few other planets, including Earth.

– There’s Earth! – he pointed in its direction, and she carefully followed the line of his hand.

– It looks fantastic! – she exclaimed excitedly.

– I agree! I’ve always wanted to visit it.

– Really?! – she asked, and he nodded in confirmation.

– It’s always been my dream too! – she said joyfully.

– Why’s that? – she kept questioning him.

– Because it’s the only planet that resembles ours... and because I’m curious how human life works.

– Which places would you want to visit then?

– Hmm, I don’t know... Japan and South Korea. They have beautiful places and fascinating traditions.

– I like your answer. Looks like we do have something in common. Those places are on my list too. Thanks to this project, you’ll get to visit them.

– That’s exactly why I’ve devoted myself to it completely. And you’re coming with me! The two of us will go to that planet and spend time there – together – he explained enthusiastically.

– Now you’re becoming obvious!

– Yeah, yeah, I’m becoming obvious... right now, in this very moment, about something I never understood before. Something I never had space for in my heart... until I met you. From that moment on, you belonged only to me. From our first meeting, you consumed my soul – the soul I never gave to anyone but you. You selfishly stole every part of me and took me entirely for yourself...

– Darling, I’ve loved you from the very beginning. You were the only one that ever existed for me. But I don’t love you with my heart or my mind – I love you with my soul. Because the heart will stop beating, and the mind will forget.

He revealed to her the greatest secret of his soul – one that would now unlock a new story for the two of them. Her heart was pounding harder than ever before in her life.

For the first time, she looked into his deep, warm eyes. They had stepped onto a path that was far beyond ordinary love. In his eyes, he held a thousand love letters, saying more than words ever could. The entire universe stood still. These two different worlds had merged into one. In that frozen moment, she felt powerless. She searched for the right words.

– Orion... I... I don’t know what to say... I... I have to admit, I’ve truly fallen for you too. No matter how hard I tried not to like you, something inside me was stronger. Ever since our first meeting, everything about you felt different – and you’ve been dancing through my thoughts ever since – she finally managed to say.

Even though it wasn’t nearly enough compared to everything he had told her, it was enough to let him know that her feelings were mutual.

Orion slowly moved closer to her, and then, their lips finally met.
A moment that had lived only in their imagination had now become a long-awaited reality.

He kissed her selfishly and fiercely, and yet in the softest way possible.
The passion inside them ignited, mixing together in a silent explosion.

The kiss was perfectly synchronized, as if their lips had been made for each other since the very beginning of the universe.
They kissed until they could barely breathe.

– Oh God, Arabella, you’re blushing! – he teased her playfully during a short pause.

– Shut up!

– Do you... want to do that again? – he asked curiously.

(...)And her lips are like the galaxy's edge,

And her kiss the color of a constellation falling into place...

(Arctic Monkeys, Arabella)

Intense kissing turned into a slow dance, full of passion. A billion emotions and passions raced through her creature. Those lips made her melt. She was going crazy. She felt she could never get enough of them. She tangled her fingers in his hair and continued to kiss him. After a long kiss, she parted her lips to provoke him. He lost control and bit her lip, prompting another passionate kiss. They were losing their breath. Their lips were swollen. Their breathing was fast. With these very moves, they ignited the most risky flame, which in itself was trouble for the entire universe.

– Screw this Arabella, you're driving me crazy, even if it's just a simple kiss – he managed to tell her as soon as he got his breath back.

She just smiled at him and caused another explosion in his creature. They continued to sit on the moon, in silence and with occasional conversations.

The way you feel when you kiss him

for the first time.

Like fire within your bones.

Like your soul has returned to water.

Like every part of you that came from a dead star

Is alive again...

(Gill, Nikita)

– I guess this is where our time together ends!... – Arabella said as they walked slowly toward her house.
– Then… until next time! – she said to him as they stood in front of the house.

She waved at him and then turned to continue on, but he reflexively pulled her back. She fell straight onto his chest, giving him the chance to hold her tightly. Once again, he breathed in every scent she radiated.

– Not so fast, young lady – he whispered and kissed her again.

He grabbed the lower part of her slender legs, just below her well-shaped backside, and lifted her up. He started carrying her all the way to the front door. Impatient, he was eager to reach her room and throw them both onto the bed.

As he carried her up the stairs, she studied every line of his sharp face. She could discern confidence and determination in his actions.

Once they arrived, he carefully laid her down on the bed, then gently leaned over her and started kissing her. She began to melt beneath his lips. A shiver ran through her. He was kissing her, here, in her bed. This was the moment she had constantly dreamed of. He was her greatest fantasy.

He directed his kisses to her neck and her prominent collarbone, which drove him wild. With gentle kisses, he discovered the weak spots on her body, ones he would skillfully use in the time to come.

– I almost forgot... – he suddenly pulled away from all that and grabbed his phone.

After a few clicks on the music player, he played a playlist from Chase Atlantic and continued.

Kissing her neck, he slipped his hands into the corners of her shirt and began to take it off. Then he moved to her stomach, and then slowly slid his lips to her chest. She felt a flame develop inside her entire body. A strong urge and desire for him clouded her mind. He went back to her neck again and planted a few kisses. He pressed his lips to hers and began to kiss her. Moments later, he was gently undoing the straps of her bra and unbuttoning it. Unbuttoning it, he cupped her breasts in his fists. He held them tightly in his hands and played with them. He ran his fingers over the nipples and squeezed them. He found them interesting, so cute and pink. He felt how hard they were under his touch, so he began to provoke her even more. He liked it. He started nibbling and kissing them lightly, while she was bursting inside. She let out soft moans and needed him too much at that moment. He was driving her crazy and she was on the verge of losing her mind. She would do so many bad things to him very soon, because she could no longer control her passions.

– I see you like this, honey – he let out a small smile, while kissing her breasts and neck.

She let out another soft sob as she was powerless to say anything. He did it so well.

– I need you too much right now... Don't stop doing it – she managed to say, while her voice lowered and melted. He obeyed the command and kissed her. He kissed her roughly, constantly, tenderly, hungrily and passionately, and then he lay down on the seat next to her.

She looked at his figure illuminated by the moonlight. His chest was rising and falling rapidly. He was breathing heavily. And after that, her gaze landed a little lower and she saw his extremely noticeable erection under his pants. She lightly placed her hand on his stomach and slid to their edge.

– Don't do that!

– Do what? – she asked him curiously, pretending not to know what it was about.

And then she sat on top of him and he straightened up in a half-sitting position.

She was careful to feel everything that was happening to him at the moment. She started playing Slow down, Chase Atlantic.

– Good girl! – he moaned with satisfaction after that, and she immediately took off his shirt and whispered quietly: – Isn't it?

He just smiled softly.

She started kissing him. She shifted slowly in his lap, driving him crazy. After his lips, she moved to his chest. She lightly brushed her teeth over his nipple, then began to move lower. She planted kisses on his stomach and slid her long feminine fingers over it. Then she reached to the edge of the boxers that were poking out of the pants. And then she circled between those areas again.

– Arabella, don't do that, please. I'm on the verge of losing control – he was going crazy, because her touch was too exciting for him.

It was like a touch of fire, fierce and at the same time playful and relaxed. To a great extent, he started his adrenaline with which he deeply felt his existence.

She did not listen to his silent pleas and continued to use her weapon. He grabbed her thighs and started kissing her fiercely. Both were burning in the flames of passion. He slowly thrust her into him as they kissed, creating even more lust for both of them.

Passion kept them awake all night. They kissed until they were exhausted, as if there was no tomorrow. They were burning with mutual desire. They caught just that little bit of sleep before classes started. Their bodies were close and hugged, creating a dose of comfort that allowed them to fall asleep.
