Chapter 22
Chapter Twenty-Two
Stirring in the bed, Lilly stretched out like a cat until all her muscles were pulled taut and then like a rubber band, she retracted into a ball and snuggled down into the duvet.
It took a few seconds for her to understand that it wasn’t her bed she was in.
The previous night came flooding back, and she smiled shyly at the honey that had been dripped all over her body.
It was getting to frustration point with her they’d not had sex and had been so close, the universe conspired against them. She pondered on what would stop them next time.
“Ah, sleeping beauty wakes,” Elijah said, standing in the doorway.
Elijah was dressed smartly in his work clothes fresh out of the shower. She wanted to strip him and drag him back to bed.
“Come back to bed, we can finish where we left off last night, and pray that we’re not interrupted,” Lilly suggested.
“As much as I’d love to kiss every inch of your glorious body, I need to head downstairs to work,” Elijah said.
Lilly pouted, uncharacteristic for her, but it felt good to show her honest emotions. It almost worked as he stepped towards her and then stopped and shook his head.
“I tempted you weren’t you? Good, I’m glad that you still want to. I’m happy with that for now, but soon Elijah, soon I want you inside me,” Lilly said.
Elijah groaned at her words and crawled onto the bed, his clothes and the duvet separating their bodies. Kissing her deeply he showed her just how much passion he had for her.
“I need to get to work, stop leading me astray minx,” Elijah said.
“Minx, me?” Lilly said, using her most innocent voice.
“Yes, you. I have to go. You can come down any time and I’ll make you breakfast,” Elijah said.
“Ok, I’ll let you out of my minx like clutches this time,” Lilly said.
Elijah rolled off the bed, landed on the floor with a thud and leapt into a standing position. Lilly giggled, and that made him happy. He always wanted to make her happy.
