I fell on top of her, pulling her body snug to mine as we each struggled to catch our breaths. I stroked her hair away from her face, my heart in danger of pumping its way out of my chest with all the feelings I was having. I’d loved this woman for so long and finally she was here in my arms.

“We’re probably going to need to do that a few more times today,” I said, my voice low and teasing. “You know, since we’re both so out of practice and all.”

She chuckled softly. “You make a fair point.”

I shifted us so that I could bury my face in her neck, inhaling the clean scent of her skin. We lay like that for a few minutes before I finally released her and went to take care of the condom. When I returned she was still in bed, her light hair fanned out across her pillow.

I smiled at her and she smiled back, letting out a quiet yawn. “I should probably finish making breakfast.”

“Stay where you are. I’ll make it. My woman gets breakfast in bed whenever I stay over.”

Her smile widened. “Is that a promise?”

I nodded. “You better get used to special treatment, because I plan on going all out.”

“Wow, I feel very lucky.”

I winked at her. “Nah, I’m the lucky one.”

Leaving her there I headed for the kitchen and finished making the breakfast she’d started. All the ingredients were still on the counter where she’d left them before I distracted her away from her cooking. I even found a tray in one of the cupboards so that I could carry the food into her bedroom. She was sitting up, her back against the headboard when I came in, sliding into bed next to her with the tray.

“You can cook,” she said, eyeing the bacon and eggs. “Always a good sign.”

I smiled, catching her lips in a quick kiss. She inhaled sharply when I casually palmed her breast. I had to force myself to quit fondling her otherwise we’d never get a chance to eat. We made short work of the food and then I set the tray on the floor before crawling back under the covers with her. I pulled her into my arms, spooning her from behind and we drifted off to sleep for an hour or two.

When I woke up I noticed she’d turned around to face me and was nuzzling my neck. I ran my hand along her shoulder then down her spine before cupping her arse. She had such a peachy arse and I didn’t think I’d ever get tired of grabbing it.

“Conor,” she gasped and I dragged my lips across her chin.

“What is it, baby?” I replied low.

“Make love to me again.”

As soon as the words left her mouth I rolled her beneath me. I wasn’t due at work for the rest of the week and I planned to spend as much of that time as possible worshipping her heavenly body.

Yvonne

Conor and I barely left the apartment for two whole days. His assistant, who had since returned from her trip to visit family, dropped some clothes over for him so that we could cocoon ourselves away from the world.

Honestly, they might’ve been the best two days of my life. Ev had been with Dylan in the townhouse so we had the entire apartment to ourselves. Well, we did until she dropped in one morning and caught Conor stepping out of the bathroom, freshly showered with a towel around his waist

And that was how my niece found out about us. Word quickly spread to Dylan and Conor’s family, who I was surprised to find were thrilled about the whole thing. All this time there’d been a fear in the back of my mind that his parents wouldn’t approve of us but that fear had all been for nothing.

I was still reeling a little bit from his declaration of love. He hadn’t said it to me again since. Maybe he thought I might freak out and go weird on him. That wasn’t the case at all. In fact, I’d been waiting for him to tell me again because I sort of felt like saying it back.

I know, crazy.

We’d been together for two days. I couldn’t possibly be in love with him already. I was being a lunatic.

But I’d known him for so much longer than two days, and every time I looked at him my heart filled to the brim in a way that was completely new to me. I hadn’t felt for anyone what I felt for Conor. He was so kind and open and clever. There were so many things to love about him that it was impossible not to fall. It was scary though. To feel so much for someone in such a short space of time.
