He watched her from the shadows, her soft, feminine figure moving gracefully as she attempted to entice potential buyers. She clutched her basket full of pears looking around, her eyes finally settling on the ash-covered peasant who had been standing and watching her.
She smiled, wondering what he was doing in this part of town. She approached him as he continued watching her. His wide-eyed facial expression made it hard to distinguish what he was thinking or how he'd react, but she needed the money.
She had finally stood in front of him as he continued staring at her with the same blunted expression. She parted her lips to ask him if he was interested, only to be caught off guard when he grabbed her hand and started sniffing it. She gasped, trying to break free. She finally managed to do so and ran home quickly.
She lugged the bulk bags of pears she had purchased from a friend. She positioned them on the ground as she took a break, wiping the sweat off of her forehead.
"Can I help?" a timid voice behind her asked.
She turned around, gasping as she realized it was the same boy from the day before.
"Please," he pleaded as he noticed her body language change to indicate that she was going to run away from him.
Cautious and wide-eyed, she nodded, to which he responded to by effortlessly picking up the bags. She walked with him slowly, eventually leading him to her apartment.
She walked up the stairs as he followed, her soul feeling the growing tension that was in between them.
They had finally made it to her doorway, as she struggled to open the heavy iron gate.
"Here, please," she directed him, walking in and pointing to her kitchen floor.
He obliged, setting the bags down.
"Why did you smell my hand?" she blurted out of curiosity.
"I make perfume," he replied almost instantaneously.
She nodded, still confused.
He took a step closer towards her, and she froze.
"I love your scent, please, can I?" he gestured, raising his hand.
She hesitated but nodded.
She felt his fingers lift a lock of her hair, breathing in heavily. She felt his tall, slim body inch closer to hers until they were touching.
His breathing grew heavier as he nestled his head in the crook of her neck, inhaling heavily. She found her arms wrapping against his back as he effortlessly lifted her and navigated to her bedroom. He gently laid her down as he continued pressing face into her neck, now ravenously kissing her as he placed his weight on her. She felt a heat growing between her thighs as she felt his stiff member pressed against her lower half. She pushed his face away only to grab it and stare into his piercing blue eyes.
