Raphael ||

There was a funny trend going around on TikTok: ask your partner to raise their hands and kiss them. If they let go, it meant they were melting under your kisses; if not, it meant they weren't. You thought it was cute and playful, so you decided to give it a try. That evening, when Rafael returned from work, you called him into the kitchen, set your phone on the table, and started recording. The room had a light, homey atmosphere, but there was a quiet excitement in the air, the kind that makes your heart beat a little faster.

You smiled and asked him to raise his hands. He hesitated slightly, as if he wanted to ask, then obediently raised them, as if he were following an innocent command. Surprise and mild confusion flickered in his gaze, but his trust was immediately apparent. You stepped closer, cupped his cheeks, and kissed him softly.

Raphael held his hands in the air. He didn't let go immediately, not because he wasn't melting, but because it felt like a demand, a small "order" he was trying to obey. But gradually, his resistance melted. His hands slowly descended to your waist, and the kiss became more confident, deeper, filled with emotions impossible to express in words. His heart began to beat faster and his breathing became slightly ragged.
