He grinned at me and leaned in to kiss my neck.The sensation was enough to push me over the edge and the release overtook me, making my whole body feel like it was on fire.I was barely aware of what was happening and everything was justsensation.

I laid back on the bed, breathing rapidly even as he continued to touch me.I let out the softest moan."Please say you have a condom."

"I do."

"Good."I had one in my handbag, but I hadn't even considered bringing it to the bedroom with me, I'd already been distracted by my own desire.It was a miracle I was remembering now, but I was glad I did.

"I'll be right back."He leaned in to kiss me swiftly and got up to go into what I assumed was the bathroom.

I sat up."You don't keep condoms by the bed?"

He reappeared with a small box in his hand and shrugged."I only need them there if I'm going to have sex.It's a bit like the laundry chair, if I'd known you were coming, I'd have put them there."

"Oh."

"You keep them by the bed?"He asked as he pulled out a foil packet and put the box on the bedside table.

"Well, yes.The bed is where I'm going to need them."

"Makes sense."He sat down on the edge of the bed and rolled the condom on.

My breath caught in my throat as I considered what was coming next.There was no doubt that my desire and attraction had taken hold of me, but this wasn't just a fumble in the sheets, and there was no lack of rational thought to go with it.I wanted this.

"Stay there," I said, going up onto my knees so I could straddle him.

He seemed to work out what I was doing, as he guided himself to my entrance.My eyes closed and I let out a moan as I seated myself on him, feeling unbelievably full.

Nick reached out and brushed my hair away from my face, capturing me in a deep kiss.My whole body was still tingling from the release and the urge for more was growing within me.

I broke the kiss and started to rock back and forth.His hands helped keep me moving at a steady rhythm and his lips grazed against every part of me they could reach.

All thoughts fled from my mind as I gave myself over to the way it felt to be with him like this because it was far exceeding anything I'd anticipated.

And I was glad that this wasn't going to be the last time.

Chapter15

IVY

I stretched out, forgetting for a moment that I wasn't in my own bed.But the pleasant ache in my body and the smell of the sheets was enough for last night to come flooding back to me.I let out a contented sigh.Even if Nick wasn't in the bed with me, it was nice to wake up here, and not just because his flat was bigger than the one I shared with Laila.

I threw off the covers and spotted a t-shirt folded on the bedside table beside me.Warmth spread through me at the gesture.It hadn't been there last night, which meant there was only one reason it was here now.I pulled it on, enjoying the scent of whatever detergent Nick used, with the hint of just him underneath.

Luckily, it fell to my thighs and pretty much covered me, which saved me from having to locate more of my clothing from wherever it had ended up last night.It wouldn't be a problem so long as I found it all before I returned home.I didn't want to make that trip while wearing my elf costume.

I let myself out of the bedroom and headed into the rest of the flat, realising as I did that we never managed to get to the tour of the place and I had no idea where Nick was going to be.

The moment I entered the kitchen, he looked up from where he was sitting on a laptop with a pair of glasses on.He smiled at me and pulled them off, setting them down."You're awake."

"Yes.Thank you for the shirt."I smoothed it down.

"It was purely selfish," he admitted, getting to his feet and coming over to me so he could pull me into his arms.

"You're going to have to enlighten me on that one," I responded, leaning into him.

"For one, I get to see you in my clothes."

"Mmm, and that's a good thing?"
