Aaliyah Love lay in bed, her heart racing as she recalled the recent intimate encounter with her lover. The room was still warm from their passion, and the scent of their lovemaking lingered in the air. She traced the patterns he'd left on her skin with his fingertips, feeling the heat from his touch. As she thought back to how they'd undressed each other so slowly, teasing one another with gentle kisses and caresses, she couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by desire.

Tears rolled down her che ks as she recalled the memories they shared together, wishing he were still by her side.
