"Declan," she breathed, "I want you now. I want to ride you."
"Grrrrmph." He bit down on her nipple, making her full-on squeal.
He rolled off her, eyes wide, lips wet from kissing, looking completely wild. "Condom?"
"I bought a whole lot of them. See?" She pulled open the drawer of her bedside table. Piles of colourful condoms spilled out.
Declan raised an arched eyebrow. "Now I'm going to have performance anxiety."
She bit her lip. "Oh, no pressure, I only wanted to be prepared. And I liked the colours."
He grinned, showing lots of teeth. "Joking! I was messing with you." Grabbing a condom, a nice royal blue, he sat on the edge of the bed and got rid of his underwear. He prepared to sheath himself, but Yuki wanted to touch him.
"Let me." She shuffled over to him, to sit on her knees beside him. "God, you're built. I mean, I love your body, Declan."
He groaned, handing over the condom. She took her time, running her hand over the hard length of him, circling him, squeezing just a little...
"Yuki, please." His voice cracked on her name. Oooh, she liked that. Who was begging now?
In a second she sheathed him, and then she peeled off her remaining scraps of clothes. Totally naked, she straddled him, wrapping her legs around his strong back. His eyes were on her, on every inch of her. She shivered.
When she first raised herself up, then sank down on him, he filled her so completely, she could hardly breathe. Declan's face was pressed to her neck, and the sound he made nearly brought on her climax. So gruff, so deep.
She shifted, rising and falling, rocking her hips. Yuki pressed herself down, hard, and found her rhythm. Declan rose beneath her too, giving her what she needed, angling his hips. He kissed her deeply, tasting her, pressing his body to hers, until she was undone. Her heart throbbed as the heat inside her unfurled, spread, took her over. She threw back her head, cried out, and chased the stars.
Declan held her, a firm hand on her waist. Grinding himself against her, thrusting again and again. He called her name when he fell back, limp and spent. And she lay on top of him, smoothing her hand over his chest, caressing him, so glad to have found him.
So happy to love him.
"Yuki? Are you awake?" Declan whispered the words by Yuki's cheek. She was lying beside him, her head on her pillow, eyes closed, beautiful as an angel.
"Mmmm. Maybe."
He chuckled, stroking her cheek with his thumb. "Hey Miss Yuki, I'll have to leave soon."
She sat up suddenly, the sheets dropping away from her perfect breasts. "What? Not already?" She brushed a strand of her hair out of her face.
He couldn't help stroking her hair, then stroking her breast. "It's nearly nine o'clock. My flight's at quarter to midnight, but I'll have to get a move on."
She dropped back down to lie next to him, and kissed him, and his heart could hardly take it. He didn't want to go. He’d never wanted to stay with someone more, than with her, at that moment.
"Stay, a bit longer. Have some dessert."
They had already had dinner, in bed, home delivery from some restaurant where she knew the chef. "I think I had my dessert, even seconds. You were delicious."
"Mmmm."
He sighed, placing his hand on her waist. "What are you doing for Christmas? You haven't told me."
She glanced up at him, her eyes dancing. "I'm having lunch with my parents, and my brother's back home from Singapore. Maybe my aunts and cousins will be there. We'll eat a turkey, and sushi, and Pavlova, then play a ruthless game of Monopoly. It should be fun."
Declan squeezed her waist, let his hand wander lower to her hip. "It sounds like fun. I wish I was staying."
Yuki pressed a kiss on his cheek. "You know, I think you're the first man I'd like to bring home, to meet my family."
His chest felt too tight. She was so sweet. He felt the same, knew his parents would absolutely love her. "Not Glenn the Arsehole Ex?"
She rolled her eyes. "Urgh. He said he thought it was cool I'm Japanese, well, my family is. He wanted to collect girlfriends from the world. As if we were commemorative plates and he needed the complete set."
