Saliva

Anastasia smiled at Liam as they both dressed comfortably in sweatpants and sweatshirts.

They met outside at 7, the anticipation evident in their expressions.

Liam couldn't help but tease her about her choice of car. "We're taking your Mustang? Are you trying to impress me with your car to woo me?"

Anastasia chuckled, playfully raising an eyebrow. "You like cars?"

Liam hummed, a hint of frustration mixed with amusement. "I should have brought my Chiron to woo you properly."

A smile tugged at Liam's lips, but he hid it by poking his inner cheek with his tongue.

"Hop on… Liam," she said, her voice carrying a melodic tone.

Anastasia smirked, knowing the effect she had on him when she said his name in that particular way.

Liam cleared his throat, a blush creeping onto his cheeks, and hopped into the passenger seat.

He watched as Anastasia started the car and began to drive.
