He walked her toward the bed and carefully sat her down, making sure she didn't topple over before kneeling in front of her. His hands moved to her feet, unbuckling her heels and slipping them off one by one, his fingers grazing her ankles as he set them aside. She hummed in satisfaction, wiggling her toes the moment they were free.
When he was done, he straightened his back but remained on his knees, his body now almost level with her seated frame.

God, she looked beautiful. Not that she didn't always, but something about her in this moment had him completely entranced.
The soft flutter of her long lashes, the way her slightly messy blonde hair framed her features, strands falling over her face, and her lips—fuck, her lips—soft, plump, and slightly parted as she breathed. The faintest hint of a smile tugged at them, as if she were in her own little world.
