“Are you ready?” he asked. I nodded, not trusting my voice at the moment. Getting off of me, he walked over to his suitcase and grabbed something before coming back to me. When I nodded at him again, he pulled his boxers down, making my breath hitch. With wide eyes I watched as he unrolled a condom and slipped it on before walking back toward me.

“I’ll be gentle, baby, don’t worry,” he said when he saw my expression. Not taking his eyes off of mine, he slid between my legs. He watched my face the entire time, making sure he wasn’t hurting me. The pain ebbed away, and soon I was practically begging him to continue. With Liam’s hands on either side of my body holding his weight up, I put my hands on his forearms, moving in sync with him.

We both moaned together, and a little while later, Liam collapsed on top of me as I lay beneath him, trying to catch my breath. With his head on my chest and his arms wrapped around me, we lay there together, panting, both coming down from our highs. When Liam finally got off of me a short while later, I instantly felt cold and wanted him wrapped around me again. I watched tiredly as he got up from the bed and headed for his suitcase. When he returned, he handed me a regular black t-shirt to wear, and a pair of boxers for himself.

“I thought you may be more comfortable wearing something,” he said, smiling at me. With a sly grin, I sat up and put my arms up once more, indicating that he should put the shirt on for me. His eyes twinkled with amusement as he slipped the shirt sleeves over my arms, then tugged the collar over my head. As he pulled it down, his fingers traced my bare skin for a moment before he pulled away. “There you go.”

After he slipped on a pair of boxers he climbed back into bed, grabbed my waist, and pulled me to his side. With one hand on his chest, I smiled up at him, enjoying this moment. It was everything I had wanted it to be and more. I could tell Liam made sure I enjoyed it just as much as he did, and that I was always comfortable.

“Thank you,” I said.

“No, thank you.” He kissed the tip of my nose, then lay back into the bed and pillows. A yawn escaped my lips, so I curled closer into Liam’s side. He laid a heavy arm across my waist and placed a kiss on top of my head.

“Goodnight, Liam.”

“Goodnight, Jenna. I love you,” he said as I drifted off to sleep, a smile on my face.

At the memory, I clenched my thighs together and blushed harder. Liam wasn’t even awake and he could still make me blush. Needing a shower, I quietly kissed his cheek before going to slip out of bed.

“Where do you think you are going?” a deep, sleepy voice said. Liam’s hand shot out and wrapped around my arm, pulling me back against him.

“I need a shower,” I said, turning to see Liam laying there with his eyes now open. They seemed even brighter today, and a soft smile was spread across his face.

“No, stay here,” he muttered, tightening his hold on me.

“You go back to sleep, and I’ll go shower.”

“How about we shower together? You know, save water and everything,” he suggested. I laughed at the idea, but didn’t dismiss it. He grabbed my chin gently, turning my head in his direction. “Happy birthday, by the way.” Wait, it was my birthday?

“What day is it?” I asked.

“The 26th of September. You are finally twenty,” Liam answered. Wow, I had forgotten my birthday. Usually I remembered and tried to ignore this day when it came around. Celebrating my birthday wasn’t a thing I ever did. It didn’t help that three days after my birthday was the day my mother left me. It was one of the reasons I never celebrated it.

“Thank you,” I said softly.

“Hey, what’s wrong?” Liam asked, sitting up.

“Nothing. I just forgot it was my twentieth birthday, is all,” I answered. You know what, Jenna? You are not going to think of anything with your mother today.It is your twentieth birthday, and you have an amazing “fiancé” here to celebrate with you. You are going to have a great time today and the rest of this trip. “How about we go and have that shower?” I grinned, wiggling my eyebrows. Liam’s grin became wide as he hurried to get out of the bed. Giggling, I got up after him.

When he grabbed my hand, he wasted no time in dragging me toward the bathroom.
