**Chapter 10: Surrendering to Desire**

As they broke apart for air, Kenzy's eyes locked onto Alex's, and she saw the same desire, the same hunger that she felt. The world around them melted away, leaving only the two of them, lost in a sea of desire, their bodies screaming for release. The bench creaked beneath them as they shifted, their legs tangled together, their hands still clutching each other. Alex's eyes burned with intensity as he gazed at her, his chest heaving with exertion. "We've got all night," he whispered, his voice husky with desire. "We can take our time." Kenzy's heart skipped a beat as she nodded, her mind racing with anticipation. She knew that she was taking a risk, surrendering to the passion that had driven her for so long. But she couldn't help herself. She needed this, needed him. Without a word, Alex stood up, pulling Kenzy into his arms. He carried her across the courtyard, the sound of their footsteps echoing off the stone walls. They passed by startled couples and solitary figures, all of whom seemed to fade into the background as Alex's eyes locked onto hers. As they approached the entrance to the hotel, Alex's hand slipped down to her waist, his fingers tracing the curve of her hips. Kenzy felt a shiver run down her spine as he pushed open the door, revealing a dimly lit lobby that seemed to stretch on forever. Without a word, Alex led her to the elevator, his hand still on her waist. The doors slid open, and he pushed her inside, following close behind. The doors closed with a soft whoosh, and Kenzy felt a rush of excitement as Alex's hands closed around her waist, pulling her back against his chest. The elevator lurched into motion, and Kenzy felt Alex's lips brush against her ear. "We're not going to make it to your room," he whispered, his breath hot against her skin. "I'm taking you to mine." Kenzy's heart skipped a beat as she nodded, her mind racing with anticipation. She knew that she was surrendering to her desires, giving in to the passion that had driven her for so long. The elevator doors opened, and Alex pulled her out into a dimly lit hallway. They walked in silence, their footsteps echoing off the walls as they made their way to his room. Kenzy's heart was pounding in her chest, her senses on high alert as they stopped in front of a door. Alex produced a keycard, swiped it through the reader, and pushed open the door. He pulled Kenzy inside, his eyes locking onto hers as he kicked the door shut behind them. The room was dimly lit, the only sound the soft hum of the air conditioning. Kenzy's eyes adjusted slowly, and she saw that they were in a luxurious suite, with a king-sized bed dominating the center of the room. Alex's hands were still on her waist, his fingers tracing the curve of her hips. "Welcome to my world," he whispered, his eyes burning with desire. Kenzy's heart skipped a beat as she smiled, her body trembling with anticipation. She knew that she was surrendering to her desires, giving in to the passion that had driven her for so long. And as Alex's lips closed around hers, she knew that there was no turning back.
