    “No pants?” I smile “Sexy.” I reach down, taking him in my hand.
     
    I guide him inside me, my head falling back and the sheer pleasure having him inside me brings. He knows I need him and doesn’t make me wait, he starts to move inside me and within seconds, I am coming around him, clenching around him while he continues to thrust, chasing his own orgasm. 
     
    “You’re so fucking hot when you come.”
     
    Leaning down to take my nipple in his mouth he speeds up, getting close, I throw my arms around his back, pulling him deeper. When I feel another orgasm building, I sink my teeth into his shoulder. It tips him over the edge and he comes hard, shuddering his release. We stay, looking at each other, for what feels like ages. 
     
    “Thank you, I really needed that.” he kisses my forehead and withdraws making me wince.
     
    “No need to thank me, it is always my pleasure.” he puts himself away and zips himself up. 
     
    “Now, can we have dinner?” he cocks his head to the side smiling. 
     
    “Yes, now we can eat.”

    “You know, after tonight, you going away is going to be even more difficult.” I can’t help the feeling of sadness that comes over me, lying on the rug by the fire, naked and curled up next to Doug under a blanket. 
     
    “I can’t say I’m looking forward to going, but I need to go. I shouldn’t need to go for a while after this time.” he shifts so he can see my face.
     
    “I wish you would come with me.” Lifting my eyes to meet his, I force down the little voice in my head shouting at me to tell him I can. 
     
    “I can’t Doug, I have to work.” 
     
    “I know, it doesn’t stop me wishing though.” he kisses the top of my head and reaches for the iPod dock remote.
     
     “Can we listen to Bruno ? I love his voice.” I ask, hoping the answer is yes. 
     
    “Sure we can, we can do whatever you want.” He presses play and Just The Way You Are starts up.
     
     “I like this one” he whispers as he snuggles into my neck.
     
     “And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while, coz Soph you’re amazing, just the way you are...” he sings softly in my ear, making goose bumps raise over my skin.
     
     “I don’t think those are quite the words... But I love them all the same.” I smile, turning my head to kiss his lips. 
     
    “I love you Sophie.” 
     
    “I love you more.”

    Chapter Eight 
     
     
    I am sitting in my flat, looking at pictures of Doug on my phone, tears running down my cheeks. We had decided to say goodbye on Tuesday morning, in the hopes this wouldn’t happen. But knowing he was sitting in his flat and I was sitting alone in mine was too much to bear. I jump in my car and drive over to Doug’s late Tuesday night. The look on his face when he opens his door is enough to floor me. He pulls me into his apartment and kisses me, pushed up against the door. 
     
    “I thought we weren’t going to do this.” he searches my tear stained face for an answer.
     
     “I know, but I can’t sit in my flat knowing you’re here alone and leaving for five days tomorrow. I want to make the most of it, Doug, tell me you feel the same?” Doubt suddenly floods my mind, maybe he doesn’t want me here.
     
    “Of course I do, you don’t even need to ask that.” he pulls me into his embrace, resting his cheek on the top of my head. 
     
    “Can I stay with you? Tonight?” tears flood my eyes and I can’t speak. 
     
    “I’d love nothing more.” he takes my hand and leads me up the stairs to his room.
     
    The blinds were open and the room is in darkness. London twinkles up at me. U2 is playing over the sound system. I feel the crackle of need between us, like an electric current. We lock eyes on each other. I can’t remember who steps forward first but we are all hands and tongues, his hands in my hair, moving my head to the right angle to kiss me, my hands are wrapped around his
