‘Well, Caitlin and I have known each other for a little while now, and we get on really well so you might be seeing more of her because I really like her.’
He really liked me. My heart pumped fast enough to make me dizzy, and then Freya and Eddie smiled broadly before Jack dropped his head and whispered something to them that caused them to giggle and nod frantically.
‘Uncle Jack says we should ask you if you want to be his girlfriend.’ As she spoke, Freya looked solemnly at me as if this was a life and death decision. Eddie picked at a crumb on his plate and Jack was smiling almost bashfully while staring at me expectantly.
My cheeks immediately flushed and began burning; I’d never felt more like I was in an inquisition–but it was the best type of inquisition because I was being asked the very thing I craved. I hadn’t been sure, but everything seemed to be falling into place.
I was ready to commit.
‘I think you should say yes, then we can have loads more cake when you come to visit!’ Eddie chimed in.
Smiling, I felt a bubble of happiness well up inside of me that felt too big for my body to contain. ‘Well, in that case, I’d better say yes.’ I wanted to jump up and down with joy at this declaration, but I managed to retain control and instead directed the children to a cupboard in the living room where they would find some games that had been left by the old tenants.
Once Freya and Eddie were safely out of earshot, I moved around the table and sat myself next to Jack. ‘You coward, using the children to do your dirty work,’ I chided him, but I couldn’t keep the grin from my face, which totally gave the game away.
His eyes crinkled at the corners as he grinned and then reached for my hand, which I gladly gave. He twined our fingers together, staring at them for a second before raising his gaze. ‘Yeah, but it worked, didn’t it?’
Slowly lowering his head towards mine, Jack stared me in the eyes, his pupils visibly dilating as he closed the gap, but just when I thought he was going to kiss me on the lips he diverted and landed a gentle, lingering kiss on my cheek.
I wasn’t sure whether to be pleased or disappointed. It was hardly the right moment to shove my tongue in his mouth, but bloody hell, I would have liked to.
My skin immediately tingled from his contact, and I drew in a small gasp of pleasure before smiling at him shyly. In response, he winked and turned to Freya as she ran over to show him some Lego she’d found.
My head was reeling and my skin still singing with the pleasure of his brief kiss. Jack Felton was officially my boyfriend. That sounded a bit ridiculous when referring to a man who was nearly forty, but sod it, I didn’t care, I fully intended to call him by that title.
This was hugely exciting, and definitely major progress, but I tried not to let myself get too excited. After all, he had yet to discover how messed up I really was.

Sean
As I entered my bedroom I found Allie on my bed wearing nothing but the necklace I had given her earlier that day. She was wearing her birthday gift in her birthday suit? Jesus. It caused me to freeze in the doorway and stand there to appreciate her beautiful body.
Her skin was tanned and flawless, her hair was falling down her back, long and sleek, appearing like spun gold in the muted bedroom light.
God, she was beautiful.
I couldn’t believe I had my girl back. It seemed too good to be true, but finally, the shit with Savannah was resolved and Allie and I could get on with making a life together.
I couldn’t wait.
After I’d arrived, we’d celebrated her birthday with a barbeque and had now taken our celebrations upstairs.
When I’d popped out to top up our drinks, Allie had snuck on to my laptop and opened up the CCTV footage from my house in England. I’d mentioned the copies over dinner, but I hadn’t banked on her being this keen to watch them with me.
But keen she was.
The laptop was on the end of the bed as Allie looked across at me with desire-filled eyes. I’d thought she might be embarrassed at the idea of watching herself ontape, but from her erect nipples and the bright flush to herskin, she was already aroused and as far from embarrassed as possible.
Swallowing hard, I tried to calm my suddenly dizzying pulse, but it was a losing battle. Kicking myself into gear, I ignored my swaying head and shed my clothes quickly. Joining Allie on the bed, I moved in close behind her and reached out to trail my fingers through her hair. I couldn’t be near her and not touch, it simply wasn’t feasible.
Tangling my fingers in the silky locks, I sighed contentedly. I loved her gorgeous strands so much I doubted I’d ever tire of the feel of it between my fingers.
Or wrapped around my wrist in the height of passion.
On the screen the video had loaded and things were already heating up; we were in the entrance to my kitchen, Allie wearing my T-shirt as a nightdress, and I was pinning her to the wall as our eyes remained glued together in a heated stare.
In the tape it didn’t take long for me to peel the T-shirt from her body and start my assault on her by manoeuvring her towards the kitchen counter, causing her to gasp on screen just as the Allie in front of me gasped too.
Her eyes were glued to the screen as she watched me bending her over the kitchen counter and stretching her arms above her head.
Even through the small speakers of my laptop I could hear how aroused I was on the video when I gave her my command. ‘These stay here.’
My cock leapt with the images on the screen. I loved this part of the tape. My gorgeous girl had offered me her body with no limitations and I could still remember how euphoric that had made me feel.
Bringing me back to the present, Allie swallowed loudly then licked her lips. ‘Wow...I’d almost forgotten how moody and domineering you were back then,’ she murmured huskily. Her voice held a definite note of longing, and I began to wonder if I’d become a bit too soft recently.
We were a couple, things were done as a pair, including sex; it had always been great–sometimes she led and sometimes I did. But hearing her tone, I started to think that perhaps she missed the way I used to take charge in the bedroom.
I’d missed it too.
Kneeling behind her, I scooped up her long hair and trailed it over her shoulder, leaving her neck exposed for my kiss. I began to trail my lips over the delicate skin below her ear as I ran my hands from her shoulders, down her arms, until I came to her wrists.
‘Did you like it?’ I asked breathily, my hands looping around her wrists to gently hold them captive. ‘That side of me?’
Allie arched into my touch, tugging at her restrained arms and inadvertently thrusting her breasts into the cool of the room as her head fell back onto my shoulder. ‘I...yes.’
Her admission made my cock throb and my head spin as the longing for control roared to the forefront of my thoughts.
Mine. She was mine to possess, mine to control.
Barely holding myself together, I lowered my lips to her ear before nipping at the skin with my teeth. ‘Get on your hands and knees,’ I commanded, my tone rough.
As soon as I released her wrists she immediately scrambled to do as I had requested. How she could be so confident and independent in life, but so willingly submissive in the bedroom was astounding.
Not to mention a real fucking turn-on.
On the laptop screen, video me was caressing Allie’s pale, smooth back, so I tried to mimic the tape, aware that Allie was watching the recording too. She shivered beneath my touch, her breathing unsteady as a low moan slipped from her lips.
As I wrapped her long hair around one wrist on the screen, I did it in real life, relishing the feel of the sleek strands as they tightened around my arm and exerted pressure on her scalp, just hard enough that Allie arched her back toward me and lifted her arse up as if she were presenting it to me.
This position allowed me a perfect view between her legs and my head swum when I saw how excited she was.
A
s if on autopilot, my right hand traced its way down her spine, trailed through the crack of her arse–causing her to quiver below my touch–before the pads of my fingers made contact with her soft sex.
Tonight was about reconnecting. It was about claiming, and getting my girl back in the most primitive way possible. The quickie at the studios had been fantastic, but over far too fast. I needed to really claim her back and show her we were meant to be together.
Allie moaned, her hips shifting and causing two of my fingers to slip inside her opening. A groan left my throat and I couldn’t resist adding a third finger and pressing them deeper as my thumb sought her clit. I loved the feel of her stretching to accommodate me. One brush across the swollen flesh had her squirming against me and caused her to ripple around my fingers in pleasure.
I had missed this, and I don’t mean the sex; I’d missed sharing the incredible connection, the small noises she made when she was turned on, the way we responded to each other.
And yeah, I’d missed the actual sex too.
As I drew in a breath to try and steady myself, I realised I’d strengthened my grip on her hair in my urgency. Her back was arched even more now, but instead of complaining, Allie appeared to be lost in the heights of pleasure. Her eyes were rolled shut, lips parted, and hips thrusting against my hand harder and harder by the second. With barely any warning, her muscles suddenly clenched and she climaxed with a startled yelp, seemingly taking us both by surprise.
As she rode out her orgasm with a series of breathy whimpers I couldn’t help but stare at her in wonder. Wild and so fucking beautiful that it almost hurt. It seemed my girl really had missed this side of our relationship as much as I had.
How I was managing to hold myself together was beyond me. Talk about an overstimulating experience–I was surrounded by her sexy body, both in real life and on the screen, where the old me was now pressing her to the counter until her gorgeous breasts flattened beneath her and she writhed excitedly.
On screen, I lined my cock up with her entrance and thrust in with almost brutal force. Her body shot forwards, both of us moaning as I continued to pound into her relentlessly.
I couldn’t deny that the image had my cock throbbing with the need to be inside her again, but I winced, wondering how the hell Allie had ever fallen for me when I had treated her so roughly.
Underneath me, I felt Allie shift and I slowed my fingers to ease her down from her climax. Dragging my eyes away from the screen, I looked at her flushed face as she glanced over her shoulder at me. Her eyes were dilated, her face framed by several locks of hair that had escaped from around my wrist, and she had never looked so gorgeous.
She bit her lip before glancing at the laptop where I was still banging out my pleasure in her willing body. ‘Fuck me, Sean. I want you to take me hard, just like that. Don’t hold back.’
Holy hell, her words surprised me. They left me with little doubt as to who was really in control, but I didn’t care–if my girl wanted me to fuck her hard, I would happily oblige.
Giving a small nod, I grinned at her wickedly and slid my fingers out of her, replacing them with the tip of my pulsing hard-on. ‘As you wish.’ Wasting no time at all, I copied the roughness of the scene on the tape and jerked my hips forwards so I was buried deep within her in one hard thrust.
‘Fuck.’ The curse hissed from my lips as my head spun and my entire body focused on the glorious sensations in my dick. She was so tight. So perfect.
Gripping her hair in one hand and her hip in the other, I began to thrust like there was no tomorrow. Each move had me buried inside her, my stomach banging against her arse on each thrust as she practically threw herself backwards to increase the intensity.
‘Yes. Just like that.’ I wasn’t entirely sure if it was me who spoke or Allie, but this was so fucking perfect I could barely see straight. The scene on the laptop drew to its crescendo, the sounds of Allie and I coming through the speakers, but the video was all but forgotten as we focused on the then and there.
Looking down at where we were joined caused me to groan in pleasure. Watching my cock disappearing inside her was so erotic I felt it swelling in size even further. Allie moaned, and lifting one hand from the bed she tugged my hand from her hip and guided it towards her clit.
I began to rub slick, firm circles in time to my brutal thrusts, just how I knew she liked it, and was almost immediately rewarded with a long, drawn-out groan. ‘Oh, God. I’m going to come, Sean.’
That made two of us. With my fingers at her clit and one hand in her hair, we moved in unison until suddenly she gasped, let out a low, gravelly moan as her body clamped around mine and began to climax in a series of convulsions so hard I thought my cock would be bruised the next day. For now I had no complaints, the hard grip exactly what I needed to send me chasing after her as my release shot from me in hot pulses that had me jerking against her for several seconds.
I was pleasurably exhausted, and so sated that I could already feel sleep pulling at the edge of my vision, but I was alert enough to fall to my side, bringing Allie’s body with me. ‘Mine.’
‘You’re mine too, you know.’ Allie giggled softly, her words thrilling me as she snuggled against me, her breathing slowing as we both fell towards sleep with my length still buried inside of her.

Allie
I smelt the coffee before I’d even properly woken up, its rich aroma invading the lovely dream where Sean and I were back together, and Savannah didn’t exist.
I sighed as my brain started to wake up. If only life could be as perfect as my dream world.
‘Good morning, my gorgeous girl,’ Sean’s deep voice washed over me, infiltrating my senses and immediately causing me to peel my eyes open.
In my direct line of sight was a broad, naked chest, with a perfect six-pack and sprinkling of hair that had my eyes shooting upwards until I saw an even better view.
Sean.
Complete with a seriously sexy case of bed head and a night’s worth of stubble he looked dark, dangerous, and deliciously sexy as he stared down at me smugly.He was really here.
Blinking again, my sleepy haze began to lift and I remembered the previous day’s hectic events: the press conference, Savannah’s sour face, my birthday meal, and finally the incredible sex session where Sean had fucked me into a coma.
Wow. Actually, I think maybe reality was better than my dream.
‘It’s so good to have you back in my bed,’ he murmured, dropping down beside me so he could place a gentle kiss on my lips.
‘It’s good to be back in your bed,’ I replied with a giggle.
Wiggling his eyebrows, Sean returned my smile before rolling over to the bedside table. ‘I made some coffee.’ Pouring two mugs from the large jug, he settled himself against the headboard and waited for me to prop myself up next to him before passing me my mug.
We enjoyed a moment of silence as we sipped our coffees, and then Sean placed his mug down and turned towards me. ‘So...last night, I, uh...I fell asleep before I could ask if you were OK.Sorry, that’s a typical guy thing to do, huh?’ he mumbled with a small smile. I could detect hesitancy in his murmured words, presumably he was worried he had been too rough, but he didn’t need to have any such concerns–I had enjoyed every minute of it.
Laughing, I immediately set about reassuring him by also getting rid of my cup and placing a soft, lingering kiss on his warm lips. Hmm. He tasted of coffee and smelt like hot-blooded male mixed with citrusy shower gel. What a perfect mix.
‘Don’t worry, I passed out too. And I’m fine, really.’ I felt my cheeks flush as I thought over the events of last night. The amazing, earth-shattering, double climatic events of last night.
‘You enjoyed it?’ he asked.
I had more than enjoyed it. Just remembering how he’d whispered for me to get on my hands and knees sent an immediate rush of warmth between my legs and I felt my nipples harden underneath the sheet. Jeez. It almost felt wrong to
admit that I liked when he took control, as if I was somehow giving in to some weakness inside myself. But I loved it. As much as it went against my independent woman status, I truly loved it when Sean dominated me in bed.
Not quite sure how to voice this, I cleared my throat and finally plucked up enough courage to look him in the eye. ‘I really enjoyed it, Sean. We can definitely do that kind of thing again.’
I saw relief sweep his features and he smiled, released a breath, and nodded. I was just about to reach for my coffee when Sean gave a shake of his head, his eyes taking on a dark appearance. Throwing back the sheet to expose my naked body, Sean growled low in his throat, and as he reached for me I got the distinct feeling I would be drinking my coffee cold this morning.

Jack
The sun was shining, I had a coffee in one hand, and Caitlin’s fingers curled around my other. All in all, things were pretty damn great.
My schedule was maddeningly busy at the moment, but we’d made the best of it and been gently progressing our time together, starting each day by meeting for coffee and later during another break if our schedules matched. We now held hands every time we were together, and I had continued my habit of kissing her on the cheek, which always brought a gorgeous flush to her skin. My kisses were straying closer and closer to her lips as each day passed, not that Caitlin seemed to mind in the slightest.
We were going physically slow, but the smouldering looks that now passed between us were practically X-rated. My girl could almost reduce me to my knees with one of her secret sexy smiles. I truly didn’t think she had any idea just how gorgeous she was. I was like a teenager again, and seemed to have a permanent hard-on whenever she was near me. Despite my best efforts to hide it, I know she’d spied the bulge in my jeans on several occasions, so perhaps she was starting to get some idea of just how much she affected me.
My only real free time was late night when I got home and promptly collapsed into bed. As much as I’d have liked to suggest Caitlin wait beneath the duvet at my place for me, I sensed that would be pushing things, so I’d held off from even joking about it.
