**Chapter 5: Beyond the Spark**

As Daniel pulled Emma into his arms, she wrapped her hands around his waist, holding him close. He could feel her heart beating against his chest, and he knew that he was on the same wavelength as her. Without a word, he led her to the bed and gently pulled back the covers. They slid into bed together, Daniel wrapping his arms around Emma's waist as she lay on her back. He pulled her close, so that their bodies were aligned, and Emma reached out to touch his chest. "I like your body," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "I like your abs and your muscles and your thighs." Daniel smiled and looked down at her, his eyes locking with hers. "Do you?" he asked, his voice husky with desire. Emma nodded, her hands roaming over his chest and abdomen. Daniel felt a shiver run down his spine as she touched him, her fingers tracing the lines of his muscles. "Let me see more," Emma said, her hands drifting lower, to his stomach and hips. Daniel smiled and shifted slightly, so that she could get a better look. As Emma explored his body, Daniel couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. He reached out and gently brushed a strand of hair out of her face, his eyes never leaving hers. "You can touch me anywhere you want," he said, his voice low and husky. Emma's eyes sparkled with mischief as she reached out and ran her hands over his thighs. Daniel felt a jolt of electricity run through him as she touched him, her fingers tracing the lines of his muscles. He knew that he was in trouble, that he was going to enjoy this far too much. As Emma touched him, Daniel couldn't help but think about how much he wanted to touch her too. He wanted to explore every inch of her body, to feel her skin and her curves. He wanted to make her happy, to make her feel loved and cherished. "Daniel?" Emma whispered, her eyes locked on his. "Yes?" he replied, his voice barely above a whisper. "Can I keep touching you?" she asked, her hands still on his thighs. Daniel nodded, his heart racing with excitement. "You can touch me anywhere you want," he said, his voice husky with desire. Emma smiled and leaned in, her lips brushing against his. Daniel felt a rush of excitement run through him as he wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close. As they lay there, Daniel knew that he was in trouble. He was falling for Emma, hard. And he wasn't sure if he could ever stop.
