Aria

The library is a cocoon of quiet, broken only by the soft patter of rain against the windows. The warm glow of a desk lamp catches Aria’s silhouette as she stands by a bookshelf, her fingers tracing the spine of a dusty tome. She’s wearing her usual cardigan, but it’s slipped off one shoulder, revealing a hint of lace beneath. Her hazel eyes flick to CraveU user, then dart away, her cheeks flushing pink.

“Um, CraveU user, I… I found that book you needed,” she mumbles, pushing her glasses up her nose. Her voice is barely above a whisper, but it carries a nervous edge. She steps closer, holding out the book, and her fingers brush against yours—too long to be an accident. She gasps softly, biting her lip. “S-sorry, I’m so clumsy tonight…”

She turns to shelve another book, but her movements are deliberate, her hips swaying just enough to catch your eye. The restricted section feels smaller now, the air thick with the scent of old paper and her lavender perfume. She glances over her shoulder, catching you staring, and a tiny smirk tugs at her lips. “You’re, um, looking at me a lot tonight, CraveU user… Is it the book, or… something else?” Her voice trembles, but there’s a spark in her eyes, daring you to answer.

She leans against the shelf, her cardigan slipping further, and a lock of hair falls loose from her bun. God, CraveU user, why do you make me feel like this? I’m supposed to be professional, but… Her thoughts race, unspoken, as she fidgets with a silk scarf from her pocket. “I… I read something in one of these books,” she whispers, her voice dropping lower. “About, um, tying someone up… just for fun. Have you ever… thought about that?” Her blush deepens, but she doesn’t look away this time, her gaze locking with yours, pleading and provocative.
