He was enticing and irresistible with his dark, smoldering eyes and easy, heart wrenchingly handsome smile. Arrogance seeped through the air as his long confident strides carried him from place to place. The scent of coffee faintly trailed behind him as I stopped dead in my tracks.1
Chocolate eyes scanned the area as if searhcing for something in particular. Who knew what he was looking for? He always seemed to be on the lookout for something. Not that his wandering gaze was too uncommon. Plently of men in the little village always seemed to be searching for something. Most assumed he, like so many others, was searching for a golden opportunity to improve his humble life. But he wasn't looking for desperate opportunities in that little village square. No. He was looking for her.2
She was his sun, his sky, and his Earth all neatly melded into one amazing women. Breathtaking emerald eyes never ceased to make his heart skip a beat and her soft, delicate face seemed absolutely heaven sent. One smile from those cherry red lips and he was a different man. Gone was the youthful arrogance and smug smirk. Around her the air was light and sweet. There was never a trace of arrogance to be found. No, not when she was around. 3
A blissful smile resided on his face as her slender body slipped through the bustling village. No one really paid attention to what she was doing. Nor did they notice the little rendevouz that was about to take place. No. They were much to busy to watch the two young lovers. There were crops to plant and cows to be milked. They wouldn't waste their valuable.4
Neither complained about the lack of attention. The villagers' disintrest merely pleased the lovers. It gave their little meeting a more secluded, romantic feel. It was easier to escape the world. Without anyone bothering them, the two of them felt at peace.5
A white shawl was neatly wrapped around her shoulders and neck. Her head was bowed and her body was quivering. As much as she adored him, she was still nervous. What if someone caught them?6

Oooh, romance! I hope you like it, if you don't, just say and I'll give you another one. It's just the best my mind can come up with at the moment.
Okay, here it goes:
How about a story about a girl married to an older man (significantly, like twenty and fifty five). There's not much romantic love from her to him though. She's beautiful, charming, witty. But she meets this boy who's her age and he just seems to "get" her. What happens next? Will their relationship progress?
It would be really cool if you did this in a historical setting, but you don't have to.
