Maria.
I continued kissing him without the slightest restraint, as nothing else mattered, not the corridor outside or not the people moving around the pack.
Not even the possibility that someone might walk past us at any moment.
At that moment, all my attention was on Noah, his warmth and his embrace and the way he kissed me back with just as much longing.
The world around us gradually faded into the background and time itself seemed to lose all meaning. Neither of us realized how completely absorbed we had become.
It wasn't until the faint sound of approaching footsteps reached us that reality came crashing back.
The footsteps were getting closer.
Noah was the first to react, as he immediately broke the kiss. His eyes widened slightly as he glanced toward the corridor.
Without wasting another second, he reached for my hands and held them firmly.
"Someone is coming." He said, his voice low and urgent.
