Shayla

I moanand stretch out in the super king-size bed, peel my eyes open, blinking out the early morning sunshine. The birds were melodiously chirping as I snuggle into the soft goose feather pillows and sigh in content. Then, like a tsunami, everything that happened between us the night before hits me all at once, and I realise I’m naked in bed…alone again, Cole nowhere to be seen.

I roll onto my back and stare up at the ceiling, all sorts going through my mind. Was he having regrets about us sleeping together last night? What if the reality of us having sex didn’t hold up to the expectation he had built up in his mind? I mean, he seemed really into it, the way he kept whispering how good I felt and the sounds he was making while he climaxed. Oh, shit what if it's awkward now.

Oh, Shayla, you idiot. What were you thinking, sleeping with him!

I lean up and look at his side of the bed and notice a note on his pillow with a white rose. I pick it up and read it.

“Waking up beside you and starting the day with your intoxicating scent is the most beautiful feeling in the world.”

I smile, press the note to my chest, and squeal like a giddy teenage girl.

Where is he though? Why did he just leave me here to wake up alone? I press the rose against my nose and smell it with a smile. My heart was thrashing around like crazy in my chest. I wrap the sheet around myself and walk over to the huge window overlooking the beautiful garden at his parent's place.

I notice my hair was still up in a messy ponytail, I was too caught up in our passion, I completely forgot to let my hair out. I slide the pins out of my hair, one by one and pull out the band holding up my ponytail. I shake my hair loose, and it falls across my back. I hadn’t realised how tight the ponytail was till I brush my fingers through my hair and moan.

“Good morning, sweetheart.” I gasp, startled when I hear Cole’s voice in my ear suddenly. He wraps his arms around my waist and kisses the nape of my neck.

“Good morning.” I greet back, closing my eyes as he trails his lips along my neck. He spins me around and presses me back against the window, his forehead against mine, and bites his bottom lip.

I smile shyly, my cheeks feeling hot all of a sudden. “Sleep well?” He whispers, combing his fingers through my hair.

I nod, “Like a baby.” Cole tilts my head up so I could meet his gaze, his eyes a startling green, brighter than I’ve ever seen them. “Where did you go?” I ask him, and he smiles a little.

“Something urgent came up that needed my attention. Believe me, if it wasn’t important, there is no force strong enough to make me leave you alone and naked in my bed.” He explains, brushing his thumb along my jaw. “You were sleeping so peacefully that I couldn’t bear to wake you.” Cole adds, making me smile bashfully.

“Well, did you sort it?” He nods again, slowly leaning in, he brushes his lips over mine.

“I did.” He kisses me softly. “I was disappointed, though, that I didn’t get to wake you up as I had hoped.”

I smile and kiss him back, “Oh? And how did you hope to wake me up?”

Cole grins darkly and wraps his fingers around my wrists, and pulls them away from the sheet I was currently holding against me. The sheet drops to the floor around our feet, and Cole wraps his arms around my naked body and lifts me into his arms, his lips snatching mine and drawing me in for a passionate kiss. Cole walks me over to the bed and lays me down on it gently, his body covering mine as we continue to kiss ardently. I groan when he pulls away, breaking the kiss and looking down into my face.

“I was hoping to wake you up in the best possible way, my tongue gliding over your clit gently like this…” He burrs, brushing his tongue over my clit ever so lightly. I hiss and curl my fingers in his hair.

“Ohhh, Cole…” I moan as he continues to tease me with gentle licks, flicks, and swirling of his tongue in lazy circles till I was a quivering mess begging him to make me come. He kept me on edge, licking until I feel that delicious build-up to climax, when every nerve in your body tingles, and just as I’m about to go over, he stops for a second and starts over again. I whimper, frustrated, “Cole, I can’t take anymore, please…”

Cole smiles devilishly, watching me in delight, “Uh ah, you see this feeling right here, where you want something so desperately but can’t have it. That’s how I felt every time I was near you.” He mumbles huskily, sucking my clit lightly.

“Ohhhnnn God, yes.” I was so close, so damn close to climaxing, when we hear a knock on the door. Cole's head pops up from between my legs, and I open my eyes and look at the door.

“Um, Mr and Mrs Hoult…uh Mr and Mrs Hoult senior are waiting on you for breakfast.” Cole and I look at each other at the same time, and we burst out laughing.

“Thank you, Hayley. We’ll be down shortly,” Cole replies with a chuckle while I cover my face with my hands.

“Oh my god, I think she heard me moaning.” I groan, utterly mortified, while Cole leans up and pulls my hands away from my flushed face.

“I think she did.” He chuckles, dropping a kiss on my lips. “Don’t be embarrassed, what did she expect to hear knocking on a newlywed couple’s door?”

I sigh, “You’re a very bad man, Cole Hoult.” I say, pushing him off me and getting up while Cole leans up on his elbow, watching me as I move around the room. Suddenly feeling very exposed and coy, I wrap the sheet around my body again. “What the hell am I supposed to wear? Where are my clothes?” I ask looking around the bedroom for the outfit I arrived in, but it was nowhere to be seen.

“I had the girls pick some clothes up for you. It’s in that white bag over there,” Cole tells me. I look back at him and down at the bag.

“Oh, well thanks,” I utter, picking up the bag. Whoever these girls were, they had great taste in clothes. They picked out a cute cream co-ord short skirt and a crop top. “Remind me to thank them before I leave and let me know how much it cost so I can pay you back,” I say, and Cole frowns.

“Don’t be silly. You don’t have to pay me back.” He replies, and I stop before I walk into the bathroom and look at him with my eyes narrowed.
