Flaky 's heart soared at his words, and she reached out to touch his cheek gently. "And you make me feel special," she said quietly. "Do you want to... be together?" As soon as the words were out, Flaky felt a rush of adrenaline mixed with nerves. What if he didn't feel the same way? But there was no hesitation in Graham's response.

"Yes," he said firmly, his eyes meeting hers. "I want that more than anything."

Without another word, Flaky leaned in and kissed Graham passionately. His hands slipped under her shirt, tracing gentle circles on her back as he deepened the kiss. She moaned into his mouth, arching her spine to get closer to him. When she felt his hand slide between her legs, she gasped, her hips bucking upwards in response.

"Graham," she whimpered, "I need you."
