The reaction from both of them was surprise. Ezra didn't quite know how strong his feelings for Aria were and Aria didn't really know if Ezra was serious. He stared into her gorgeous eyes, a blush creeping over her neck; he reached out and rubbed her cheek softly with the ball of his thumb.

"Ez..." He silenced her, his thumb brushing over her lips softly.

"Please, don't say anything – I just need..." Need what? Ezra didn't know exactly what he needed. They both waited for the answer to come out of his mouth, but nothing came, he stared at her, moving closer to her. He rubs their noses together softly, listening to her breath hitch softly; he brushes his lips against hers, his hand moving down her body on her hip softly.

Aria answered his thoughts. "This," she whispered, kissing him softly. "We need this." He pulls her down into his arms and kisses her softly, rubbing her hips as their lips meet together softly, his hand running up her back, his fingers tangling against her hair.

They only break their lips apart when they need air.

"Aria..." He whispers, watching her softly, she doesn't reply with words, just a soft kiss.

"I know," she brushes a strand of hair from his face. She knew this would have to be kept behind closed doors.
