Chapter One hundred and eighteen

Talia's POV:

I must've fallen asleep in Nicholas's arms because I woke up when the plane began to descend. Opening my eyes, I stared at the unfamiliar surroundings, my body sore and aching from the sex we just had. I don't think that my sexual drive would be so massive with anyone else.

Every second with Nicholas is a constant reminder of what life is with Nicholas. Always devastating and cathartic, the roller coaster ride of pain and ecstasy was with him. I felt both empty and exhilarated at the same time, wrung out, yet invigorated by the maelstrom of emotions.

Sitting up gingerly, I winced as my bruised bottom touched the sheets. That had been one of the more intense belting sessions; I wouldn't be surprised if these bruises lasted a while. 

Casting a glance around the room, I spotted a door that I assumed led to the bathroom. Nicholas was not in the room, so I got up and went over there, feeling the need to wash up.
