    After receiving this silent confirmation, he closes the gap between our lips and my eyes fall closed. His


    hands press firmly against my back, holding me against his chest. I feel so safe and protected at this


    mo ment, so blissfully happy. His lips are soft andpelling as they move against my own, kissing me


    in a way that makes me feel wanted and cared for.


    We both jump as the front door opens, I drop my phone in surprise and it tters to the ground. I barely


    have time to process that the screen might be damaged, because Seb, who has opened the door, sees


    us and screams, which in turn causes both Eli and I to jump again.


    What the fuck are you doing just standing out here? Nearly killed me, he pants, cing his hand over


    his heart.


    You nearly killed us! Scared me half to death,’ I retort, trying to calm down my erratic breathing. I look


    down at my phone on the tiles, face-up, screen unblemished. As I reach down to pick it up, Eli does


    also, we collide in the middle and our foreheads bash together. I yelp and fall backward onto the


    ground; Eli reaches out and catches me just before my bum hits the path.


    ‘Ouch, I mutter as he pulls me up and I rub my throbbing forehead.


    ‘Sorry about that, heughs, reaching down and picking up my phone before handing it to me.


    So what are you doing at the door?’ Eli asks, drawing my attention back to Seb, who is still standing


    there with his hand on his chest.


    ‘I left my wallet in the car, Aria wants a takeaway, what were you two doing on the doorstep?’ He ques


    tions, Eli and I share an embarrassed look and I push past him into the house.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    ‘Nothing, I hear Eli mumble as I peek my head around the corner to find Aria on the sofa watching tv.


    “Have a good night? She asks and I give her a quick nod and hurry upstairs before I do anything else


    embarrassing.


    Iy in bedter that night, staring up at the ceiling and reying our kiss over and over in my head.


    Meeting Elijah has been a hectic whirlwind, but now, I’m so happy where things are heading


    By ten o’clock the next morning, we are back in Eli’s car, on our way to the beach house. It doesn’t take


    long to get there, and instead of going straight to the house, Eli parks in town and we grab some lunch.


    We chat the whole, turning a quick lunch into a two-hour meal, it’s strange to get on so well with a guy,


    like a best friend, but still fancy him so much.


    When we return to the beach house, we spend some more time sunbathing and messing about in the


    water, then Eli leaves me to go inside and start prepping our dinner.


    It’s so sweet of him to cook for us.


    When I eventuallye back into the house, I find the kitchen empty, but the oven is on, and some


    thing smells delicious.


    ‘Eli? I call out, I check all the rooms and find them empty too, so I go upstairs.


    ‘Eli?’ I try again as I reach thending, his bedroom door is slightly ajar, so I push it open and step in


    side.


    ‘Jesus, I whisper as he emerges from the bathroom, wearing nothing but a towel around his waist, and

    jumps as he sees me standing by his door.


    I’m sorry, I was looking for you, I quickly apologize, looking anywhere but his barely-covered crotch.


    ‘It’s fine, you just scared me that’s all, he smiles and grabs a towel from the dresser and begins drying


    his hair.


    Sorry, I’ll be downstairs,’ I tell him, I go to leave, but my bikini bow gets stuck on the door handle and


    ‘Here, let me he offers, 1 keep my eyes firmly on our feet as hees over. I’m acutely aware of how


    naked he is, despite being around him in swimwear the past few days, this just feels so much more. He


    be gins tying the bow, but he pauses. I look up at him to see what’s wrong, and he leans in to kiss me, I


    wrap my arms around his neck, pressing my dry body to his damp chest. His hands weave into my hair,


    holding my head in ce as he kisses me, his tongue teasing mine.


    At some point, my bikini bottoms slip through my hands and slide down to my ankles and I hear his


    towel drop to the floor just before I feel his bare, hot thighs against my own.


    ‘If you want this to stop, you need to leave now,’ he warns me, leaning his forehead against mine, his


    eyes tightly closed as he concentrates on controlling himself. Instead of replying, I reach up to kiss him


    again, a silent confirmation that I want this. He groans into our kiss, I know he expected me to leave,


    and ! know he’s very happy that I haven’t.


    He lifts me up, wrapping my legs around his waist, and carries me over to his bed. cing me down


    gently, he unties the back of my bikini top. I steel my nerves and force myself to keep my hands at my


    sides as he takes the top off and throws it across the room.


    He gazes down at me, desire and affection swirling in his eyes, my heart clenches at the sight. He


    leans down again to kiss me, before he can, I reach down and grab him, wrapping my hand around him


    and slowly pumping up and down. His fingers dig into my hips and his eyes fall closed as I take my


    time plea suring him.


    Alena, he grunts my name, his voice raw and gruff with lust.


    ‘Yes?‘ I reply innocently, smiling up at him, he closes the gap between our lips. He pushes my hands


    away, pushing his tongue into my mouth before I can protest. I feel his fingers between my legs,


    checking to ensure I am ready. He rubs his blunt tip against me and then pushes inside.


    Guess we‘re skipping the forey then.


    My gasps are masked by our kiss, but my nails dig into his shoulders as he buries himself inside of me.


    ‘You‘re so tight, he hisses, withdrawing and then pushing in deeper. I can’t even form a reply, all I can


    do is moan and clench my legs around his waist, urging him deeper.


    ‘You‘re mine Alena, you are my everything, I’m so happy I found you,’ he whispers sweet words in my


    ear as the pleasure grows. Just as we reach our blissful peak, he bites down on my neck, increasing


    the eupho ria tenfold. As Ie down from the high, I realize that he bit my neck, and it did feel good.

    Earlier, I understood his shock and wanted to give him time. Now, I’m pissed off that he hasn’t even let


    me know he‘s okay


    I have no idea where he is or what he’s thinking.


    Yeah he’s freaking out, but what about me? I haven’t even had time to process this myself, and you


    could argue that right now this affects me and my body a lot more than him.


    ‘Fine, I’m going to bed, I mumble petntly, leaving Nate to turn off the lights downstairs.


    I copse onto my bed five minutester, still clutching my phone in the sad hope that he might con tact
