raptly
In complete attention
Raptly means with complete absorption or fascination.
Someone who listens raptly is wholly engrossed, their attention undivided: The children sat raptly as the magician performed.
The word suggests being carried away by what you're witnessing—captivated to the point of forgetting yourself.
