Getting off the couch and pulling Joe silently toward the room, not wanting to wake up his family, I open the door and close it after him. With a puzzled look in his eyes, he takes my hand and hugs me to him.

'I am going to miss you. Is there no way you could drop you life and come with me tomorrow?' he whispers into my ear.

I can hear the desperation in his voice, mimicking the feelings I have been trying to suppress.

Staring into his honey eyes sadly, I shake my head. Trying to console him, I take his face into my hands and place little kisses all over his cheek, nose and forehead. Taking his lips with mine, I try to show him that he means more to me than life itself, but I would not be able to leave with him.

My lips travel down to his neck and my hands slide down his muscular chest to make their way back up, under his shirt, pulling it along with them. He understands my intention and yanks it over his head, his wavy hair flying all over the place. I smile thinking how I am going to miss those wayward locks.

Pressing myself against him, I kiss him with a fierceness that even my ex – Tony – didn't bring out in me.

Rocking my hips a little against him, I can feel him harden against me, and I smile, and I can feel my body responding to the thought of him getting aroused by my kiss.

My hands travel down his chest and I cup what I could of his bulge in my hand and rubbed in slow circles. Joe moaned and letting go of my lips, rolled his head backward and gave a loud moan.

'Shush,' I whispered, 'you really don't want to wake up your family and have them walk in on what I am about to do…'

Smiling at his shocked expression as his head snapped back up as I said that, I dropped to my knees and opened his jeans buttons and slid them down to his ankles.

I could hear his breathing get labored as I took his erection and placed little kisses on his tip. He stifled a couple of moans when I took him into my mouth and started moving up and down slowly.

I could hear Joe say mumbled words to me, his mind clouded by lust; but I understood them clearly – 'I love what you are doing. Don't stop. You're beautiful. I love it when you do that. I love you…'

When the last words registered in my mind, I stopped what I was doing and looked at him. He stared back with a surprised look on his face, his mouth wide with a smile.

'I love you.' He repeated, as if he were tasting the words.

Pulling me up from my kneeled position, he looked into my eyes and repeated those words – 'I love you…'

The words stunned, but also excited me, and my lips crashing onto his was all the encouragement he needed.

Walking me backward to the bed and breaking the kiss for a second as I yanked my tee over my head. His eyes traveled down my braless chest and up again toward my eyes. I could see him visibly gulp and then his lips were back on mine. I smiled as he whispered against my lips how beautiful I was. I groaned as his lips traveled down my neck, and his mouth captured one of my breasts and nibbled softly.

Suddenly he looks up and I groan at the loss of the pleasurable contact.

There is a fire in his brown eyes, and he whispers angrily, 'did he do this to you…?'

His hands were now inside my pants and making their way to my already wet core.

I gasped silently and shook my head as I bit my lip at the sensations his fingers were drawing out of me.

'So, I am the only one…?' he growled, smiling as he pushes his finger deep into me, not loosing eye contact.

I moaned as quietly as I could, and nodded my head again.

'Say it. Say I am the only one…' he demanded.

'You are the only one…' I whispered breathlessly, trying not to get any louder.

'Forever.' He growled, as he pulled his fingers out of me and pushed me onto the bed.

His lips captured my breast as I let out a small sigh of pleasure, and gave into the feelings he was creating through my body. 'I will love you, forever…'

……………

For the second morning in a row, the sun woke me up. I groaned and rolled over, only to be stopped by another body. I smile as I feel the heat coming from Joe's body as I cuddle closer to him. He groans and wraps his arms around me, smiling sleepily.

Never before, even with Tony, did I feel this much contentment and happiness.

I smile and blush slightly as I remember last night. Joe did things to me, that Tony had never done. The guilty feeling of me breaking my vow to wait till marriage only lasted for about ten seconds.

Closing my eyes, and running my lips over the skin in his neck, I relive through the memories from last night…

I get startled out of my reverie when with a knock, Nick walks in, making his way to the blinds, and opening the rest of them; he doesn't see me sitting up. I grab some of the sheet to cover up my nakedness.

'Joe, come on bro.' his voice sounds resigned to fact that he will have to fight with his older brother to wake up.

'It's time to get up, we have an hour and then we are getting a car to the … airport.'

He falters with the last word as he turns around and catches my eye. With a small blush, he looks down at the ground and starts apologizing, but I wave him off with a smile.

'I will forgive you, if you let Joe and I have ten more minutes. I promise to have him up and ready in 20 minutes.'

I look over at Joe and see the mischievous smile playing on his lips. I smile innocently at Nick and he nods grimly and walks out of the room, closing the door behind him.

'I like the sound of that.' He mumbles, eyes still closed. I laugh at his dirty thoughts and whack him with the pillow, before I pull the covers off him and throw them across the room.

'Come on, Romeo, I am a girl of my word. Time to get up.'

I stand looking at his naked perfection for a couple of appreciative seconds, ignoring the indignant sounds he is making. I grab his hand, pull him out of bed and drag him towards the shower.
