e somehow managed to make ourselves look decent enough to say goodbye to people as we made our way out of the party. I was more than happy to leave - all I could think about was having Isabella again. I was high on the euphoria I felt whenever I was inside of her. I craved it and I needed her again.

It didn't take long to get back to our rented-out cottage. I unlocked the door and stood back, allowing her to step inside. I followed closely behind her and locked the door behind us. I watched as she leaned down to remove her shoes, suddenly removing the extra inches she had in height. I preferred her this way anyway. She was the perfect height to rest her head against my chest whenever I had her in my arms. I slipped my jacket off and laid it against the couch as we strolled into the small living room. The curtains were drawn closed and there was nothing from the outside world that could disturb us right now.

“Well, that was a fun party,” she quipped.

I chuckled and kicked my shoes off. “I guess it wasn't too bad.”

It could have been worse, but with Isabella by my side, she was the perfect distraction. I didn't have to focus on the fuck-up that was my parent's relationship and the way they faked their happiness. I didn't focus on the fact I was ready to punch my dad in the face at his mention of Casey being pregnant. His inability to read a situation was beyond me. Or he knew exactly what he was doing and he was trying to get under my skin.

I undid the buttons of my shirt as she turned to face me, lifting her curious hazel eyes to meet mine.

“Do you need something?” I murmured playfully.

A small smile pulled at her lips as she shook her head. “As you were.”

I smirked. She was enjoying watching me as I pulled my shirt down my arms and let it fall to the floor. I watched as she took a deep breath in, her eyes never leaving my body. I slowly stepped closer, closing in the proximity between us.

“Do you need help getting out of that dress?” I offered.

I watched as her eyebrow lifted as she nodded. She always got this naughty look on her face whenever she heard something that she liked. She turned to face the opposite direction and pulled her hair forward, revealing the zip on the back of her dress. I reached for it and slowly started to slide it down, careful to make sure my fingertips brushed over her skin. I was ready to have her again. I wanted to worship her body - I wanted to spend time discovering every inch of it in any way I could. I pulled the zip to the bottom and slowly pushed the material of her dress to the side, causing her straps to slide down off her shoulders. I leaned forward and started to kiss the back of her neck. I heard her small breaths as I moved my lips across her skin, sometimes lingering a bit longer as I sucked softly. She was mine and I wanted her to know what I was capable of doing to her body.

I brought my lips up to her ear as I pushed myself up against her. “Do you see what you do to me, Isabella?”

A small groan escaped her lips.

“I think I could do with a shower,” I murmured. “What do you think?”

She turned to face me, her eyes burning with desire. “Lead the way.”

I strolled into the master bedroom with the en-suite bathroom as she followed closely behind me. I wanted to have her again, but I also wanted to savour every moment I had. I walked over and closed the curtains of the room before turning back to her. She had already escaped into the bathroom and I heard the water turn on. I undid my belt and pulled it off, dropping it onto the floor as my pants followed. I grabbed two towels that were laid out on the chair in the corner before slipping into the bathroom, closing the door behind us. The steam had started to surround the room and I couldn't even make out my reflection in the mirror. Isabella stood just outside the shower and I watched as her hand came around her back, unclasping her bra. She dropped it to the floor and stepped out of her underwear. Just the sight of her naked body was enough to set off my arousal.

I removed my underwear and joined her.
