Holly clearly had the same idea as she eagerly reached for my jeans, unbuttoning them and giving me sweet release from the tightness. She smiled at how turned on I was. ‘I can see that,’ she said with an arched eyebrow.

I spun her around, making her giggle in surprise. I liked surprising her. Leaning in, I kissed her exposed neck softly, earning myself a rewarding sigh from her pretty lips. ‘I want you naked in my arms,’ I murmured into her ear.

Her breath hitched. ‘I want that too.’

‘Thank God.’ I reached down to unbutton her jeans from behind and she wriggled out of them, granting me a great view of her bum. I slipped mine off too and saw that I was straining out of my boxers. ‘Look what you do to me.’

She looked over her shoulder as I pulled her against me, enjoying the feel of her soft bare skin, and her matching lacy knickers and bra. ‘You do the same to me,’ she said huskily.

I kissed her, holding her tight against me and with my free hand, I touched her delicate collarbone and chest, sliding over that sexy bra down to her stomach and then I slipped my fingers into her underwear. Then she let her body flop against me as I touched her, her breath coming out in gasps as I felt just how ready she was for me.

‘So wet for me,’ I whispered into her ear, loving that she was equally into this as I was. I pressed myself into her back, needing the contact.

‘My God, Paul,’ Holly moaned out then, clutching onto me as her body started to tremble under my touch. She turned her face over her shoulder again and I met her lips eagerly as I carried on stroking her, my tongue caressing hers as she sighed into my mouth. Her whole body tensed up then and she cried out, holding on to me as she shuddered beneath my fingers. I held her tightly as she let out breathless gasps, driving me completely crazy.

‘Fuck, I love making you come,’ I breathed into her ear as she giggled from her release in the cutest way. ‘I want you so much.’

‘How do you want me?’ she asked me softly.

‘I want to look in your eyes now.’

Holly turned around slowly and then she slipped her underwear down, tossing them off with her foot. She reached behind to unhook her bra letting it fall to the floor. ‘Do you like what you see?’

‘You’re stunning, Hols.’

Then she surprised the hell out of me by kneeling on the floor in front of me. She slipped her fingertips into my boxers this time, pulling them down my legs as my breath hitched from being released. I stepped out of them and she slid her hands up my thighs. ‘You look amazing down there.’

She pulled me slowly into her mouth and I thought I’d lose my mind. I ran my fingers through her hair. ‘Jesus, Holly,’ I breathed, watching her look up at me. ‘You look so hot doing that.’

She moaned against me and I couldn’t wait a second longer. ‘I need to be inside you now.’ I gave her hair a gentle tug, loving how silky it was in my hands. She climbed up off the floor, her lips that had felt incredible around me curving into a sweet smile. ‘Will you get on the bed for me?’

‘I’m on the pill if you want to…’ She trailed off shyly. ‘I’m always careful.’

‘Me too. You really want me to?’ I checked.

‘Please, Paul.’

God, hearing her plead like that drove me insane. ‘You have no idea how sexy you are,’ I said, looking down. Holly lay on the bed, her body stretched out so I could see her gorgeous lines and curves. Her hair was tousled, her chest rising with breaths that still came as fast as my own. She bit her lip as I stood by the bed and ran a hand down her leg. ‘I’ll remember this forever, sweetheart,’ I promised.

‘Me too,’ she purred back. ‘Come here, please,’ she pleaded again.

I got onto the bed and leaned over her, stroking her hair as I kissed her again. It had been a dream once to kiss her, now I didn’t want to ever stop. Settling between her legs, I slid inside her, making us both gasp at the contact.

‘Fuck, you feel incredible,’ I said, unable to believe it could be even better than last time. But it was. ‘I’m not sure I’m going to last long,’ I gasped out as we moved slowly, relishing every burst of friction between us.

‘Same,’ she replied. She lifted her head then to whisper in my ear. ‘Am I yours?’

I looked into her eyes and held her tightly against me. ‘You have always been mine,’ I whispered back.

HOLLY

I rested my head on one of Paul’s pillows with him beside me. My leg was draped over him and his arm was tucked around me as we looked at one another. Naked under the covers, we were quiet after we’d had our best sex to date, which was saying something as it had already been the best of my life so far. Paul’s free hand was stroking my arm and we kept dropping soft kisses on one another. Cosy under the covers in his cloud-like bed, I felt contented and sleepy but I wanted to tell him everything now.

‘I don’t think I ever would have faced everything I needed to if it hadn’t been for you,’ I told him softly.

‘Not true. I didn’t do anything. You did it all yourself.’
