aroused - Story 8664 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The hum of the elevator had stopped, replaced by an unnerving silence. John felt a strange tingling in his fingertips. He looked at Maria, her usual cheerful expression replaced with something… different. The way her lips parted slightly, the way she kept licking them, made his throat dry.

“This is crazy,” Maria said, her voice a low hum. She reached up and unbuttoned the top button of her blouse.

John found himself watching her, a tightness spreading in his chest. He cleared his throat, suddenly conscious of his own breathing. He wanted her.
