"I'm not sure I can wait that long," I say in all seriousness as I clamber back into my seat.
"Drive! Fast!" he cries making me laugh.
"I've missed you so much, Daniel."
"Me too, baby. Me too."
I've never driven from Rickmansworth to Watford so quickly in all my driving life. I practically screech into my parking space and jump out of the car.
"It's nice here, baby, I like it," he says, turning and looking over the green in the centre of the development.
"Thanks, me too, I'll give you a tour... maybe tomorrow," I add, realising there's no way I'll let him out of my bed today.
Upstairs, I nearly break my key in the lock, trying to open my front door. When it finally opens, I slam it behind us and start to undress.
"Baby, baby, baby... slow down," he says pulling me close to him and gazing into my eyes.
"No, Daniel," I plead, "you don't understand, I need you so badly."
He pauses for a moment, his eyes burning before he presses me against the wall in the hallway, kissing me fervently. I moan and wriggle and grab, I might even come, just like this. He starts to undress me and I tackle the fly of his jeans. "Bedroom, baby. Now," he orders and I drag him straight there, ripping the rest of my clothes off as we go.
Stripped of my underwear, the backs of my legs pressed against the foot of my bed, Daniel is topless, crushed against me, kissing me like there's no tomorrow. Our mouths moving fast, desperately, tongues entwined. He tastes so good, his lips so forceful, yet soft as satin. Oh how I've missed this.
He pushes me down onto the bed and pulls his jeans and boxers off in record time. I gaze at his tanned, muscular frame and swoon. Even better than I remember... "Oh god, baby, I've missed you so much, this incredible body, your beautiful face..." He crawls, slowly up the bed, straddling me. He kisses me all the way up, making my skin tingle.
"Daniel, please fuck me... please?"
"I'll agree to that, baby, because I need you just as badly. But after, I'm savouring every last bit of you. Mmm," he says, closing his mouth around one of my hardened nipples.
"Holy shit, I'm not going to last two seconds, Daniel." I moan, feeling that buzz already.
"Let's go for it," he whispers with a huge grin, moving up to kiss my lips. I feel him in between my legs, just the feel of his tip close to me makes me gasp. He pushes gently, opening me, forcing his way in, slowly, deeper and deeper, and oh my god. It's spectacular. "God, baby, you're so wet," he croaks.
"I have needed you so much, Daniel, so much."
He pulls back, the feel of his cock moving inside me, hard as rock, is what I have craved since I left him.
"Hard, Daniel, really hard, please?"
He slams back into me and I cry out in ecstasy.
"Yes, yes!" I cry, begging for more and he repeats the motion, completely filling me.
"You like that?"
"Oh yes, faster, harder!"
"God, baby, you're so damn hot," he groans, each word louder than the last as he picks up his pace and slams into me, over and over and over. I bend my legs either side of him, pushing my pelvis towards him with each thrust, forcing him harder into me and that's it, it's here, the huge tidal wave crashing down inside me and I cry out, grabbing the back of his neck, my toes curling, legs cramping.
"Yes! Oh god! Daniel! Uh!"
"Fuck, baby!" Daniel shouts out loud as he explodes inside me, it's so hot, the combined moaning, grunting, panting. We rock together, waiting for the final waves to die down, kissing each other.
Daniel rests his forehead against mine and closes his eyes, breathing heavily. "Oh, baby. You're so freakin' hot."
I grin. "So you said."
"Fuck. I've never experienced the feelings I get with you. You've taken over my world, completely, you're all I think about, morning, noon and night." He takes a few more heavy breaths. "I need you, baby, permanently."
"Let's not get into that now, I'm still reeling from getting fucked by you. Jesus, it was so good."
"I don't intend on leaving it there." He kisses me gently on the lips and opens his mouth ever so slightly. We enjoy the slowest, most delicious kiss - the perfect finish to the first of many 'sessions' today. We lay, wrapped in each other, smiling.
"I can't get over the fact that I have Sexy Berkeley in my bed."
"I don't know about him, sweetheart, but Daniel Berkeley is right here and loving every minute of it."
"You are so sexy, Daniel. My Sexy Berkeley. I was really worried, you know, I thought you were being distant over the last couple of days."
"I'm sorry, baby, I was so, so busy trying to sort things for this trip and I had to cram a load of meetings into the last couple days. I also wanted it to be a surprise and knew if I spoke to you, I'd tell you."
"I'm so relieved. I thought that was the end."
"No, baby, the end is nowhere in sight." He runs his fingers up and down my spine, just as I had envisaged during one of my many sad/horny/lonely moments. He spots my necklace and clasps it in his fingers, smiling.
"You're wearing it."
"I haven't taken it off. I love it so much."
He smiles and I'm reminded, yet again, how much this man means to me. I can't let him go.
"So, when do you have to work?"
"I'll go in tomorrow, I'll probably get the car to take me and then figure the trains out for Thursday. I thought maybe you'd like to do something Friday, if you don't already have plans? Before your night out."
"That would be lovely, we never work on our birthdays so I was just going to potter about. By the way, how did you know it was my birthday?"
"Tilly mentioned something while you guys were in LA, so I asked her, you weren't there, you must have been in the bathroom or something."
"I didn't think you knew."
"I couldn't miss your birthday, baby."
"But you are on a business trip, yes?"
"Of course, this is strictly, not a vacation," he says with a salute.
"Good. But you're allowed to have fun."
"Why, thank you, kind lady. What sort of fun?"
"Mmm, well..." I reach down and grip his already hard cock and smooth my hand up and down. "I think this might be allowed."
"Well, I am very pleased about that, sweetheart. What about..." his hand slips down my belly and cups me, his fingers gently circling my clitoris sending a buzz right through my centre.
"Ooh, yes, that's... mmm... fun," I reply, somewhat giddy. I close my eyes and drop my head back on the pillow as he leans over me, continuing with his talented fingers, and lowers his soft gentle lips to mine. I moan and curl both hands around his neck, selfishly abandoning his erection.
Daniel talks against my lips, between kisses. "I've missed you so much, baby. I love you, I love every single thing about you. Your body, your smile, I love your laugh, your rules, your sex... the face you pull when you're excited, and the one that tells me you're in love with me. I love how you love me."
His fingers still working up a storm, I smile, gripping onto his neck. "Oh I do, Daniel, I love you and I love that you know and love all of those things about me. I don't want to let you go back, I want you with me all the time, forever."
"Me too, baby. I also love how you feel right now, you're so ready for me, I'm going to make you come so hard." He slips two fingers inside me.
"Oh, yes," I moan, "it's so... oh, don't stop."
"Is that good? It feels so good, this is mine... ok?"
"If we can be together, it's all yours Daniel."
"I want it to be mine, whatever."
"Mmm, oh Daniel, I'm close, talk to me..."
"You want me to make you come, baby?"
"God, yes, and then I want you to make love to me, straight away."
"I'll do whatever you want. I can't wait to slip inside you, wet from what I'm about to do to you. Ready for it?"
"Yes! Yes," I plead.
Daniel's fingers begin to twist as he draws them out and sink
s them back in deep, making sure they glide right against that hidden spot, sending my body into sexual overdrive. He lays his thumb gently over my clitoris, and works it, continuing his rhythm inside me. "I'm going to slide myself right inside you, I'm so hard and ready for you, baby, but I want you to come on my fingers first, now."
"Oh god, oh god, I need you, yes, yes, yes..." And suddenly he presses down with his thumb and pushes his fingers as deep at they'll go inside me, brushing that oh-so-important spot, triggering the almighty explosion that ripples through me, instantly. "Oh GOD! Yes!" I cry, digging my nails into Daniel's neck, biting my lip and screwing my face up in sheer delirium.
"Say you're mine, baby," he whispers.
"I'm yours! I'm yours! Fuck, every day, I'm yours... oh god!" We make sweet, tender love straight away and come together once again.
We both flop back on the bed, bodies glistening with sweat, panting like crazy. I reach out and drop my forearm onto Daniel's chest, and he squeezes my hand with his, raising it to his lips.
"You're so... damned good... at this," he pants.
"Mmm..." I respond, on another planet.
I hear him chuckle, mid-pant. "Come here." He stretches his arm out and pulls me into his side. I tuck my head against his shoulder and drape my arm over his belly, my leg over his.
"Mmm," I moan, appreciatively. I can't do much else.
"Baby, I can't go to sleep, I need to stay up as late as I can, if you go to sleep, I will too."
"Oh," I grumble, "tired..."
"Me too. I'm hungry, want to get some late lunch?"
"Mmm hmm."
"Want to use coherent speech?"
"Uh huh." I grin. "Ok, if you must pull me out of my sexual delirium." I raise myself up against him and look at his delicious face, his beautiful turquoise eyes that have so thoroughly enraptured me.
"I must," he responds, kissing my nose.
"Right, I'll make some food, we don't have 'whatever, whenever' here you know."
Daniel laughs and sits up, taking me with him. "Let's go raid the refrigerator."
"Okedokey, baby!"
I make a delicious goat’s cheese and black olive salad with pitta which we eat, sitting on the sofa in our underwear.
"I love your apartment, sweetheart."
"Thank you, me too, I'm so glad you got to see it. Um, Daniel? Don't you have a suitcase?"
"Oh, that, I forgot. Yes, the driver is going to drop it off for me, I didn't want to bring it into the cakery. I better give him a call and tell him the address."
"Ok. You know, it's a shame you didn't bring Luke with you, I think he and Til could do with a little chat."
"Funny you should say that, baby, I was trying to get him to come, but he kept saying Tilly wouldn't appreciate him following her."
"Tilly is... I'm worried about her. She's not herself."
"They'll sort it out, even if they have to wait it out and forget each other. Anyway, at least we're together right now, and guess what?"
"What?"
"I can call you my girlfriend; we're together." Daniel grins, excitedly.
"I suppose you're right, boyfriend."
"If I come out with you and your friends on Friday... hold up, I know Clare invited me, but do you want me to come?"
"Of course! More than anything! I can't wait to show you off."
Daniel smiles. "Good. So, will you introduce me as your boyfriend?"
"Um... I don't know. It'd be a bit awkward having to explain that you're only my boyfriend when we're in the same country. Do you want me to?"
"Yes, I do." Daniel nods. To the point.
"Ok, let's see how it goes. I would love to tell people you're my boyfriend, but don't want all of that awkward explaining when you've gone back home, when we're single again."
"Ok, baby. Let's see how it goes. I love you, by the way."
"I love you too, my gorgeous, gorgeous boyfriend."
Daniel smiles a broad, shy smile. "I love that. I want to tell the world you're my beautiful girlfriend."
"For the next few days."
"Bea!"
"Sorry." I lean across the sofa and kiss his sexy, tanned shoulder.
The rest of the day is amazing. We shower together, make love some more and talk like we've been apart forever. After Daniel's case arrives and we've had dinner, we lay in bed, gazing at each other, deliriously happy.
"When you called me that night, sweetheart, after your nightmare, I knew I had to come to you. I wanted to hold you so badly. I couldn't bear that I was so far away, you sounded so scared."
"I was. Scared for you, though. Speaking to you made me feel a lot better."
He pulls me closer to him and squeezes me. "I love you so much, baby."
"I know you do. When we are together, we've got such a good thing."
"We'll be together properly, baby."
"One day." I swiftly change the depressing subject. "Anyway, what are you working on at HBUK? Is it something you fabricated so that you could come here, or is there really work for you there?" I smile, cheekily.
"Well, you think so little of me," he says in mock disgrace before continuing, "actually, baby, there is real work for me, the UK division are having a sudden restructure and one of us needed to come to London to oversee and give the 'go ahead'. It's quite a big job, and was fairly last minute, which is why I don't know when I'll go home. We decided I'd be the best man for the job, but honestly, I think Dad would have sent me anyway, he's been watching me pine after you since you left."
I can't help the grin that spreads across my face, he's been pining after me! "Ok, Daniel, well answered. I'm convinced, genuine, work related business. With a bit of play on the side with your UK girlfriend."
"Correction - my only girlfriend."
I grin. "So you haven't met anyone to take my place yet?"
"Of course not, and I don't intend to, sweetheart. I hope you haven't set your sights on anyone else."
"I've been crying for ten days straight, darling. I think that's unlikely."
"Oh, don't say that," he says as he squeezes me again, "well, the crying bit, the other bit I'm more than happy about."
"I'm so excited that you'll be here on my birthday," I say, laying a gentle kiss on Daniel's chest. "Daniel, aren't you tired?"
"I am really tired and if I wasn't with you, I'd have fallen asleep a long time ago and gotten jet lag."
"It's nine thirty, so you could go to sleep now and you should be fine tomorrow?"
"I could..." he says with a sexy smile and he leans over me, running his warm hand down my body, to my far knee which he hooks and pulls up, turning me towards him and placing it over his hip. He presses his lips against mine and kisses me with such want, such need. "But I'd like to make the most of you, one more time before you fall asleep in my arms." His beautiful lips already tracing my neck while his hand glides up and down my thigh.
"Oh, I do not have a problem with that. Mmm."
CHAPTER TWENTY THREE
WEDNESDAY 3RD OCTOBER
Soft, tender kisses, from my neck to my shoulder and back again, the most delicious way to wake up on a very rainy autumnal morning. I smile, revelling, knowing that my man is here, showering me with affection.
"Mmm, good morning sexy," I whisper, rolling over to meet Daniel's gaze with a huge smile on my face.
"It's a very good morning, baby." He kisses my nose and brushes the hair from my face with his fingertips.
"What time is it?" I stretch bent arms above my head and cover my mouth with my hand as I yawn.
"It's real early, baby, I'm sorry to wake you, I wanted a little time with you before we head off to work."
I grin broadly. "I'm happy with that, Daniel. You make it sound like we live together."
"I'd like that," he says, his mouth curling slowly into a shy smile.
"So would I, I'm going to clean my teeth, right now, I need to kiss you."
"Let's do it!" he shouts, animatedly, jumping out of bed. I giggl
e at his boyish excitement.
I stroke his gorgeous, brawny back as we brush, making the most of him, and press the side of my face against him. Mmm, feels so good. As soon as we have rinsed, Daniel has me tightly wrapped in his arms. His lips gently meet with mine, and he kisses me in the most sensual, tender way. I practically collapse against him in sheer pleasure.
"Let's get back into bed, baby. It's cold and rainy and I want to feel your warm body wrapped up in mine."
"Amazing. I'll sort breakfast in a bit." I say, crawling onto my bed and snuggling under the duvet. Daniel follows, wrapping me up in his hot, naked body.
We spend the next forty five minutes kissing and chatting and loving. It's definitely the best workday morning I've ever had. I finally get out of bed and slip on my dressing gown to go and make us breakfast, while Daniel showers. When I'm finished, I set the kitchen table and go to find him. He is still in the shower! I enter the en-suite to tell him that breakfast is ready, and get completely side-tracked by his hot, wet, naked body. The hot, steaming water runs over his tanned, well defined muscles which flex as he smoothes the lathering soap over his torso.
He doesn't notice me standing here, gazing at him through the shower doors as he faces the wall, so I slip my dressing gown off and silently step in behind him. I slide my hands around his middle and press against his back. I feel him jump slightly and then he chuckles.
"Hey baby," he murmurs as he places his hands over mine on his taut belly.
"Hello, darling, you've been in here for ages. I came to tell you that breakfast is ready, but I couldn't resist you."
He turns around and leans down to kiss me, his lips wet and delicious. God, he is so fucking hot! Will I ever get used to that? Suppose I don't need to.
"Daniel, you are very handsome at the best of times, but in the shower, crikey..."
He smiles slowly, shyly, and runs his nose up and down mine. He turns me so that my back is facing the wall and he pushes me to it, pressing his body against mine. He starts to kiss me gently, and presses his rock-hard erection against me. I lift my leg instinctively and he holds it up, wrapping it around him, hoisting the rest of me up, holding me tight. With both of my legs wrapped around him, he swiftly, unexpectedly thrusts inside me.
