**Chapter 7: Morning After**

The sunlight streaming through the windows highlighted the peaceful scene before her. Beck lay on his back, his chest rising and falling with each gentle breath, while Maya rested her head on his shoulder, her arm draped across his chest. The warmth of his skin and the sound of his heartbeat lulled her into a sense of tranquility. She had never felt this way with anyone before, like she was exactly where she was meant to be. As she gazed up at the ceiling, Maya's mind began to wander back to the previous night. The way Beck's eyes had locked onto hers, the way his body had responded to her touch. A soft smile spread across her face as she recalled the way he had come in her mouth, the look of pure pleasure on his face. Beck's eyes fluttered open, and he turned his head to gaze at her. A gentle smile spread across his face, and he reached up to brush a strand of hair behind her ear. "Morning," he whispered, his voice husky from sleep. Maya's heart skipped a beat as she met his gaze. "Morning," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper. The room was quiet for a moment, the only sound the gentle hum of the air conditioner outside. Then, Beck spoke up, his voice filled with a sense of wonder. "I feel like I've known you my whole life, Maya. Like we've been together forever." Maya's eyes locked onto his, and she felt a surge of emotion. "I know exactly what you mean," she replied, her voice filled with conviction. Beck's hand drifted down from her hair, his fingers tracing the curve of her shoulder. "I was thinking," he said, his voice hesitant. "Maybe we could spend the day together, just the two of us. Get to know each other better." Maya's heart skipped a beat as she considered his suggestion. She had never felt so connected to someone, so willing to spend time with them. "I'd like that," she replied, her voice filled with excitement. Beck's face lit up with a smile, and he pulled her close, his lips brushing against hers in a gentle kiss. As they broke apart, Maya felt a sense of anticipation building inside her. What would the day bring? What would they do? Beck seemed to sense her curiosity, and he grinned mischievously. "I was thinking we could start with breakfast," he said. "Maybe head to that new café downtown. And then...who knows?" Maya's eyes sparkled with excitement as she considered the possibilities. She had no idea what the day would bring, but she was eager to find out. As long as she was with Beck, she knew it would be an adventure.
