Chapter 9: Igniting the Flame

As Alex's eyes locked onto hers, Kenzy felt a spark of electricity run through her body, and she couldn't help but wonder what he had in store for her. The air was thick with tension, and she could feel the weight of their unresolved issues bearing down on her. "I think we need to talk," Alex repeated, his voice low and husky, sending a shiver down her spine. He reached out and gently brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, his fingers grazing her skin, leaving a trail of goosebumps in its wake. Kenzy's heart was racing as she tried to process the emotions swirling inside her. She was still hurt from their past, but a part of her couldn't deny the attraction that still lingered between them. "About what?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper, as she leaned in, her face inches from his. Alex's eyes seemed to burn with intensity as he leaned in closer, his breath hot against her skin. "About us," he whispered, his lips brushing against her ear. "About what happened between us." Kenzy felt a surge of anger mixed with desire as she turned to face him. "You mean about how you fucked me over?" she spat, her voice laced with venom. Alex's eyes flashed with regret, but he didn't back down. "I'm sorry, Kenzy," he said, his voice rough with emotion. "I was a damn idiot, and I hurt you. But I want to make it right." Kenzy raised an eyebrow, her eyes searching his face for any sign of insincerity. But all she saw was a deep longing, a desire that seemed to match her own. "How do you plan on doing that?" she asked, her voice husky with anticipation. Alex's eyes locked onto hers, and for a moment, they just stared at each other, the air thick with tension. Then, without warning, he reached out and pulled her into a fierce kiss. Kenzy's world spun out of control as she felt herself melting into his arms. It had been a long time since they'd kissed, and the spark that ignited between them was like a wildfire, consuming her entire being. She moaned, her lips parting as Alex's tongue slipped inside, tasting her, teasing her. 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. "Fuck me," she whispered, her voice barely audible. Alex's eyes went dark, and he pulled her into a fierce, passionate kiss, his hands roaming over her body, igniting a fire that had been smoldering for months. They stumbled backward, falling onto the bench, their lips never parting. The world around them melted away, leaving only the two of them, lost in a sea of desire, their bodies screaming for release. And as they kissed, Kenzy knew that there was no turning back, that she was about to surrender to the one person who had ever made her feel truly alive.
