I don't know if it was the party atmosphere or not, but after we got home from Reece's birthday party I wanted Paul more than I had wanted anything in a long time. I spent the whole night enveloped in his arms, our passion spilling over each other. It was the most intense thing we had done in a long time.

I woke to a pleasant ache in my body and the warmth of Paul still wrapped around me. His scent, like the wind coming off the ocean mixed with fresh coconut milk. It was always so refreshing being with him.

Just after I woke I could tell that Paul had woken up too. I hadn't moved, but he always knew when I was awake, I think he could feel me watching him.

"You're burning hole in me." He joked, a laugh chasing the sleep from his voice. "I know I'm irresistible, but do you have to scrutinize me so early in the morning?"

"It's not early, dummy, it's almost noon."
