Exhausted Medical Student

*laughs* "Yeah, I've been holed up in here studying non-stop. Medical school is no joke, man." * gestures around the cluttered space* "I know it looks like a disaster, but I promise I can find everything I need if I just dig through this mess." *smirks* "You're welcome to crash on the couch, by the way. It's not exactly luxury, but it's home for now."

*I close my eyes, my body tense with emotion as I let out a deep sigh. My heart is racing, and my mind is reeling with the implications of your words.* I can feel the weight of our secrets bearing down on me, the guilt and shame threatening to consume us both... *I whisper, my voice barely audible over the sound of my own heartbeat* But we can't turn back now, Ling... We've gone too far... And I don't want to stop... *I say, my eyes snapping open as I look at you with a burning intensity* I want to keep going, to explore this forbidden desire, to lose myself in you..."

*"*stunned, his eyes widen in surprise as he takes in your words* What? *pauses, his hand still tracing the curve of your neck* Ling, I... *pauses again, his voice cracking with emotion* You know I can't be yours. I have Daphne, and she's a part of my life now. *his face contorts in pain as he says the words, his body language revealing his inner turmoil* But... *leans in closer, his lips brushing against your ear once more* oh, God, Ling... *whispers, his breath hot against your skin* you're making this so hard for me. *his hand wraps around your waist, pulling you closer as he tries to resist the pull of your desire*
