She almost felt sorry that they hadn't bothered to touch the meal he'd prepared. Or the champagne. Or the choclate.

She did comment on the roses, though, so he wouldn't feel as though all his effort had gone to waste.

But there was plenty of time for all that later. There were more pressing matters at hand.

He kisses her lips again then tenderly works his way along her jaw and down her neck. She nibbles on James's ear while his fingers pinch and pull her nipples, making her arch further into his touch. Kissing her neck and nipping her pulse point, he moves his attentions further down to cover her breast with his mouth, sucking her nipple hard. The tip of his tongue makes little circles, and he can feel it get harder in his mouth. His hands slide down her belly, seeking her hot, wet core. He teases her with his fingers for a while before giving a final bite to her nipple, allowing him to move even further down and do what he really wants to do.

His lips leave her breast, and he kisses the center of her chest once more before sliding down her trembling body. His tongue lingers at her belly button, tickling her just a bit, as his fingers slide into her moist sheath. Kissing her just below her navel, he moves to lie between her legs, spreads her thighs wide, and presses his face to tight her quivering lips. She jumps and gasps at the sensation and James smiles into her skin. He nuzzles her gently and she whimpers his name.

Apparently, her past lovers hadn't done this for her, not even on special occasions, so it was still a bit new to her. She always came so hard when he licked her, her clit was so sensitive, and he loved watching her come undone at his hands and mouth.

He slides two fingers in, thrusting deep. Her gasp grows louder, as the heat of his talented tongue touches her inner lips, sucking and licking at them. He parts her lips with the tip of his tongue, sliding up seeking her clit. The instant he touches it, she arches and grabs the sheets in her fists. His mouth covers her and he moans into her skin, making sure she can feel every vibration.

She cries out in pleasure when she feels James sliding a third finger into her, and she groans as her walls stretch to accommodate him. He licks her clit more firmly, moaning at the feel of how her muscles are tight around his fingers as he curls them within her. He thrusts slowly, enough to make it last, but not slowly enough that it tortures her. He won't be that cruel… not on her birthday.

Her head thrashes back and forth against the pillows and she claws at anything she can reach, though she tries to avoid pulling James's hair. He lifts his mouth from her, only long enough to whisper

"Come for me, my love."

Her muscles tense and her clit throbs against his tongue. Her back, her legs, her whole body tenses. She opens her mouth in a silent scream and everything seems to stop for a second or two.

And then it hits her.

An explosive orgasm rocks her body sending shockwaves from her head to toes. She cries out James's name and clutches desperately at the duvet as he licks away her juices hungrily.

She whimpers. "Please… stop… I can't…"

James smiles and kisses her clit once more for good measure before moving up to lie beside her.

After her tremors subside, she pulls him in for a kiss, wrapping her leg around him.

"I need you…" she whispers, trying to pull him closer but he won't let her.

He shakes his head, smiling, and helps her sit up, then turns her away from him to face the headboard. He cups her backside for a moment before letting his fingers run up and down her spine.

A shiver runs through her as she realizes what he's about to do.

She hasn't been taken this way in years. She did mention it James once after one of their lovemaking sessions, but she didn't think he was paying attention that closely.

"James…" her voice is shaky.

"Sshhhh…" he kisses her shoulder and wraps his arms around her waist, effectively hugging her from behind. "Do you trust me?"

"With everything."

He smiles and kisses her shoulder again, trailing kisses across the back of her neck and down to the opposite side. She shivers when she feels him running his shaft along her slit, coating it in her juices. She tightens her grip on the headboard, trying to brace herself but nothing could have prepared her for the incredible feeling.

He slides into her slowly, kissing her shoulders as his hands snake around to massage her breasts.

"Ohhh god…" she falls forward, catching herself just before her head hits the wall. He pulls her back against his body and she can feel his hard muscles against her back, while his firm cock slides slowly in and out of her. So full. Her head falls back against his shoulder and she turns just slightly to capture his lips in a kiss. He rolls his hips again, pinching her nipples at the same time, and she arches into his touch.

"So beautiful…" he kisses her shoulder and she whimpers his name.

He thrusts into her slow and deep, placing feathery kisses over every inch of skin he can reach, and it's the most sensual experience she's had in… she'd rather not think how long it's been since she felt like this.

She falls forward again as his fingers unerringly find her clit and being to rub in small circles. She grabs tight hold of the headboard as he begins to thrust just a bit faster, a bit harder. He places small kisses along her spine and she think she might explode from all the sensations.

Just when she thinks she can't possibly take anymore, he slams into her hard, nipping at back of her neck and she arches her back and screams herself hoarse as her orgasm rips though her. He bends over to hold her close as she shudders in his arms.

"Beautiful," he whispers, placing a soft kiss to her temple.

She sort of falls to one side, and James carefully slips out of her as she does. She rolls over onto her back and, after a few deep breaths, opens her arms.

"Your turn…" she smiles.

He crawls on top of her and enters her in one thrust. She clings close to him, moaning in his ear as his thrusts get faster and harder. She can hear his heavy breathing and feel his body, tense with anticipation. She knows he's close and so is she.

She presses a kiss to his neck and whispers, "Come for me, love."

He thrusts just twice more and empties himself inside her with a shout.

The feeling of his come splashing her womb is enough to trigger her and she clings even tighter to him as she shudders through her third orgasm of the night, office celebrations, notwithstanding.

Once he gets his breath back, he slide out of her, but brings her to rest so that her head is on his shoulder, her body halfway draped over his. She looks up into his eyes, and he smiles back down at her, cupping her face and kissing her gently. She moans against his lips, feeling him pour his love and devotion into the kiss they share.

"I do love you," she whispers.

"I know. I love you too."

He kisses her nose and pulls her tight to his body as she pulls the sheets over them and they settle into the gentle glow of the moonlight shimmering through the crème curtains of their bedroom. He smiles down at her as her eyes flutter closed to sleep. He kisses the top of her head and settles down himself.

'Happy birthday Oli,' he whispers with a smile. 'You win.'
