Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Images depict a Black man in a suit, a curly haired Black woman in front of tropical bushes, a magical Cavalier King Charles dog, a couple in the ocean, a grandmother, and other tropical and herby imagery.

“We’re going to get caught.” I feel his lips trace the curve of my neck.
“Try being less gorgeous,” is his breathy response before sealing my lips with his, stealing any response I might make. I hear a moan, realizing the sound is coming from me.
I’m not used to this. Indulging, feeling irresistible.
“Braxton. Babe. We just have to make it through the night.”

I think there are some animations available without a pro account so you can get close !

Aleia @aleia.bsky.social · 19d

It’s mostly creating a bunch of images and then adding animation. It may require a pro account though. I worked on it over a few days because it can get tedious
