Thrust.
“You’re my world.”
Thrust.
“I love you, I love you, I loveyou.”
And when I came, my body shuddering in his gentle embrace, I cried tears of joy and told him what was in my heart. “I am so in love with you, Eoin. I think I’ve alwaysbeen.”
In the shower, we made love again until my legs nearly gave out. We never made it to Declan’s to pack my overnight bag. In fact, we were an hour late for the party at the Fitzgerald’s too, and I hoped no one noticed when we snuck out an hour early from the party aswell.
And then later that night, when the clock struck midnight and it was truly Christmas, Eoin crept into his childhood bedroom and climbed into bed next to me. We made love again, as silently as we possibly could, and I thanked the universe for giving me the best damn Christmas present anyone had ever received.
