Candle flame and melted wax

The room was dark except for three large, scented massage candles, emitting a warm, intoxicating aroma of vanilla and sandalwood. These were no ordinary candles—they were a special soy wax with a low melting point that turned into a warm, silky oil when melted. Mariam lay on her stomach, spread out on a soft blanket. I had swept her long, dark hair to one side so that the entire line of her spine and hips were accessible. She waited, her eyes closed. She knew what would happen, but every second of waiting made her heart beat faster. I took the candle in my hand. I slowly swirled the liquid, golden wax. The first drop fell on her back, between her shoulders. Mariam took a sharp breath, her shoulders shaking. The wax didn't burn—it was pleasantly hot, just the right temperature to numb the skin and instantly excite every nerve ending. Then a second drop, a third... The drops slid down her spine in a slow stream to her waist. I began to massage the warm oil with my palms. My movements were broad, strong, and at the same time incredibly sensitive. The oil gave her skin an incredible smoothness. My fingers slid down her waist, hips, and then thighs. Mariam's breathing became heavy, she rose slightly and stood on her knees, her head buried in the pillow. "Now... turn around," I said in a low voice. She slowly rolled over. Her eyes were misty with passion. I dropped a few warm drops on her chest and followed the melted oil with my lips. My tongue glided over her hot skin, the taste and temperature clouding her mind. As my hands spread her hips wide, she flew at my wrists with both hands. Our union was fiery, as molten and hot as the wax that glistened between our bodies. The candle flame in the room flickered with our movements until the final explosion left us both in complete silence. --- **Source of inspiration and context:** The story is inspired by the traditions of European sensual therapy and boudoir art.
