I arrive, and the welcome committee is there with open arms. Gaia comes out of what I assume is the kitchen door, and she is wiping her hands on a towel. Her father greets me with a handshake and a stern slap on the shoulder, and her mom brings me in to kiss both of my cheeks. Gaia surprises me herself, with kisses on both cheeks too, but they are much different than her mother’s. Gaia’s seem to linger, and each kiss sends a shock to my dick.

Fuck, this is going to be a long day, but there's nowhere else I'd rather spend Christmas!

Mr. and Mrs. Giovati inform me that Luca has not arrived yet from Milan, and they give Gaia instructions to show me around the house. It’s a cozy Italian home with bright, white walls and large windows to bring in the light. The effect makes the rooms seem bigger than what they actually are. I try to picture a little Gaia and Luca running up and down the stairs, all over the living room or their bedrooms. I wonder if Gaia ever stared up at the dark, wood beams above her bed, dreaming of a big world and endless possibilities.

The feel of a cool hand under my sweater brings my attention back to the current moment. I glance toward Gaia at my side, and her smile is bright, but there is a sadness in her eyes that I long to make disappear. Reaching around her waist, I pull her closer to me. My other hand caresses the back of her neck, and I can’t help but lean down to her for a kiss. The kiss is all too brief, as it’s interrupted by cheers from downstairs. I guess Luca has finally arrived. I’m sure it’s just like when I go home for a visit, he’s away so much, each time he returns it’s full on celebration.

Not that I want to take Gaia back down to where I can’t touch her, but I know we have to rejoin her family. She starts to walk away, but I grab her hand, yank her back to me, and give her one final, memorable kiss.

Heading back down the stairs, Gaia’s cheeks are a pretty pink, and her lips are plump. I smile and chuckle under my breath, satisfied that I did that to her. The sexy sway of her ass in front of me widens my cocky smirk because I’ve had those perfect round globes in the palms of my hands. I’d like to feel them again, and my dick agrees. I want that ass all to myself again. By the time we hit the bottom step, my dick is rock-hard. It’s payback for having dirty thoughts of her while only a few steps away from her family.

Damn it!

Grabbing Gaia’s shirt, I tug her back into me, whispering, “Stay right in front of me for a minute.”

I press even closer, so Gaia can feel the reason I need her to stay close. She responds with a light giggle of her own. Thank God, we come down a set of stairs that have landed us in the kitchen, so I do have a moment to recover. Random thoughts do the trick, as long as they aren’t about Gaia.

Lunch is soon served, and as I am sitting directly in front of Gaia, I realize how quickly the day has passed. The happy moment is about to be over, and I will have to go back to reality. Even while I am in the midst of this family’s great company, a feeling of loneliness sets in because I know that I will not be able to spend time with Gaia anymore.

We look up at each other from across the table, and I swear she has the same lonely look in her eyes that I know is in mine. We stare, and in that moment, it’s just us. I’m not sure how long we stay like that, but Gaia’s mom breaks my concentration when she takes my plate. “Thank you, ma’am. Lunch was fantastic. Thank you for having me.”

“You’re welcome. We are so glad you and Luca were able to be here today. I wish you guys could stay longer, but my heart is full either way,” Mrs. Giovati replies and pats my shoulder with her free hand.

Gaia jumps from her seat and takes over clearing the table. “Please go and rest, Mom. You have worked so hard. I’ve got the cleanup.”

“You are just too sweet.” Mrs. Giovati gives Gaia a peck on the cheek, hands her the plates and heads in the direction of the living room.

As I see that Mr. Giovati and Luca are engrossed in a debate over which dessert is better, I take the opportunity to spend my last few moments here with Gaia, even if they are spent washing dishes. She’s already got the bubbles in the sink when I drop my load of remaining dishes on the counter next to the stack she is working on. As I shift around her to the other side of the cabinet, I rub my hands along her back and down her hips. I move her hair away from her neck and place small kisses up and down her skin. I lose myself every time I touch her, and now is no different. All I want is more. My cock, once again, agrees, and I prove it to Gaia by pressing its fullness against her back. She releases a quiet moan that drives me crazy with need.

Someone suddenly bursts through the door, and I jump to the side so fast that my dick hits the side of the cabinet. I cough and strain to remain upright, so I don’t fall into the fetal position on the ground. Gaia plays it cool, more so than me, and turns casually to Luca, who is holding the pans of two well eaten pies in his hands. I take the chance then to make myself look overly busy with the dishes.

“Am I interrupting something?” Luca asks, his voice is hard and questioning.

“Just dishwashing. Do you want to help?” Gaia coaxes.

Luca’s quick to answer back. “Yeah, that will be a no, and you’ll have to finish up on your own ‘cause Blaze and I have to leave.”

I peak up from the dishes now; Luca’s eyes are shooting daggers at the two of us. I want to think he believes nothing’s going on, but clearly, that’s not the case.

“Right, okay. Sorry, Gaia.”

Our eyes meet, and I try to silently tell her all the real reasons why I’m sorry. Sorry that we got caught, and her plan of no one knowing about us is ruined. Sorry that I’m leaving already. Sorry it was only one day and one night. Sorry that I can’t kiss her like I want to and give her a proper goodbye.
