- "Is it me or it's hot in here?" She said still sweating and panting a few minutes after their intercourse, her face all blushed and her blood pressure still rocketing.
- "Definitely you!" he said as a compliment and also to crack her up. "But yeah, we're hot." He said playfully. "No, seriously. You're right. But I happen to know the perfect way to cool it off."
- "I'm listening." She said her eyes wide open and paying really good attention.
He got up and offered her his hand. He grabbed the bottle of champagne and instructed:
- "Grab these glasses and follow me." He said pulling her up and leading them outside the bedroom.
- "Shouldn't I cover up a bit? I don't know if I wanna walk around naked in a place that's not my home. What if a pap shoots me?"
He turned around grinning and told her:
- "The only person around here that could see you is me and I know every inch of your body by heart." He said holding her hand behind her back before giving her a peck on the nose from which she reacted with the same shy grin she showed on his door step a few hours ago.
- "Where are we going?" She asked.
He took her in his living room that was totally dark and he vanished for a second, the time to reach for the switch next to the door in order to turn on the outside lights.
- "How about an early morning moonlight bathing?"
- "What are you talking about?" She asked as he pressed the button. "Oh I see! Nicely done!" She interjected at the sight of the very pleasant view.
He opened the big window and led her towards the pool. It was a superb round bleu grounded pool with lights coming right from under the water. At one side, there was a Jacuzzi with lounge chairs and a table nearby.
- "Be my guest and dive in while I get us robes for after." He handed her the bottle of Champagne.
- "Sure." She said still startled and kind of hesitant.
Holt begun to go away but he stopped at the frame of the door.
- "Are you hungry? You've got to be hungry after all of this." He asked.
- "Actually yeah, I hadn't had time to grab dinner last night with everything that's been going on."
- "Me neither, I kinda left in a hurry before the whole thing was over you know." He said giving her a look that was referring to him acting out backstage. "Alright, why don't you wait for me in the pool? I'll be right back, OK babe?" he ordered already on his way.
Lucy walked outside, put the glasses and Champagne on the table and started to step in the pool, feeling the water with her foot first and then she went all the way. She soon felt very cozy and entirely at ease, resting her arms and head over one side, closing her eyes while the rest of her body was floating casually, so much that she almost hadn't noticed Holt coming back with a tray filled with treats.
- "Hey gorgeous! Don't fall asleep again!" He said as a joke but really meaning it which made her smile. "How's the water?"
- "It couldn't be more perfect, it's heated but still very refreshing."
Holt was putting down the tray when she swam toward him. He placed it on the small table and just dove into the pool. He jumped out of the water and shook his head to get rid of the excess water in his hair. He joined her in the middle of the pool and they started to fool around a bit, playfully throwing water at each other and trying to sink the other. But at some point, they froze, stopped laughing, caught each other's eyes and got closer. Holt reached for her hands and she wrapped her legs around him, the water surrounding them. Then he grabbed her ass with one hand and her head with the other as she put her arms around his neck and her hands in his wet hair. Their amorous kiss lasted for long minutes before she asked:
- "What did you get us?" She saw a little disappointment in his eyes.
- "OK, I mean if you really wanna eat before we finish what we started again, I can't argue with you." He took her to the edge of the pool, covered her with the robe he had put right by the steps, wrapped a towel around his waist, took her near the chairs and the table and told her: "I wanted to fix you dinner but considering the kitchen clock pointed it was almost 6 a.m. I thought breakfast would be more appropriate. So here it is: fresh fruits, honey yogurt, omelet, French pastries, coffee & juice and whatever else you want I can go get."
- "No it'd be good."
They sat on the chairs facing each other with the table in between them. And they ate and chatted until the crack of dawn came up.
- "So tell me something Holt." She said when she was done. "Do you do this for all of your special friends?"
- "Actually no, considering you're the only woman ever to be invited to my house."
This revelation startled her so she had to ask:
- "Really? How come?"
- "Well, I've told you I've learnt a lot from everything that's happened and during the time we were apart, I never met anyone worth bringing home; just a couple of hotels hook-ups needed for my sanity kind of like you and the studio guy."
- "Right." She said ironically, in total understanding of what he meant.
- "This house is my very own place, I picked it out myself, I've decorated it, it was meant to be sort of like my way to grow up and build out my new life on my own. It allowed me to do a lot of thinking."
- "You mean it helped you become a better person, the man that you are now?"
- "Yes and you said yourself I'm not the same person I was 6 months ago…and neither are you or you wouldn't be here."
- "Again true but we have to be cautious."
- "Look, we're here together for now so leave the press outside and enjoy the moment."
She got up and leaned on him to kiss him voluptuously and then asked:
- "Like that?"
- "That's a start."
She sat back on her chair.
He was looking at her pensively and inquiringly for a moment. Just by his silent look, she knew he had something in mind so eventually she just asked him:
- "What are you thinking?"
- "I'd started to think I would never see this day. You know how I feel. What made the difference tonight?"
- "Well, I've tried to move on, forget about it and get over you. I guess it didn't work out so well considering what happened during this night." She said with sarcasm.
- "I hear ya." He replied with a quiet laughter.
- "So I decided it was time to stop fighting this thing and go with my guts."
- "Well, Sweet Lord! Finally!" He proclaimed which made them both crack up. "I think we ought to drink to that." He offered while reaching for the crystal glasses and the bottle of Champagne. "Come here." He said indicating his lap. She gently sat on his knees. He filled up the glass she was holding before he poured himself one.
- "You know, I had this ready to celebrate in case I got to win and bring home an award tonight."
- "But you didn't win so why celebrate?"
- "Oh, actually I think I won all right tonight. Big time winner, baby!"
- "What do you mean?"
- "Well, you're here, right?" He stated which made her grin. "It's better than any fake award that nobody will remember in about a week." She gave him a sweet peck on the lips to show that she appreciated the compliment. "I've been trying to get you back for months now. I believe that qualifies me as a big shots winner."
Lucy nodded agreeing and rose her glass to go along with his argument.
- "And the winner is Holt." She claimed.
They toasted, clunk their glasses and drunk up.
He refilled their glasses, raised his and toasted again:
- "To new beginnings!"
- "To starting over!"
She clinked with him and they took a sip.
- "Wow, this is great Champagne!" she said amazed.
- "I got nothing but the best for us now. One of the perks of my new found fame. Makes me appreciate everything I have even more after a decade of leaner times…" He finished his glass and put it on the table. "I should thank you for all this." She smiled around the rim of her glass.
Still sitting on his lap, he started to look at her and then he held the nape of her neck and he plunged into a passionate kiss. He broke it and went to lick her ear lobe and told her softly in her ear:
- "I want you again, Lucy." And then he kissed her neck and her chin, while he ran his hand through a lock of her damp hair covering his face, ready to kiss her.
But before he could reach her lips again, she stopped him by holding his face, looked into his eyes deeply and commanded him:
- "Make love to me again, Holt."
They both smiled at each other.
He stole away her glass, took a sip of Champagne and laid her down the lounge chair. He caressed her legs and moved his hand up between her thighs. He untied her robe to reveal her naked body. He took a strong look at her entire body, like he always did, finishing with her eyes. The glares they exchanged were always so expressive and filled with so much understanding of one another. Words were useless to show how they were feeling and they only needed to look into their eyes to get each other. He had seen her nude so many times by now but he could never help how struck he was by her beauty and how much just a glimpse or the thought of her would put him in complete trance.
He grabbed the bottle of Champagne and spilled some of it on her tummy which he licked starting with her navel all the way up to her breasts. He was holding them and kissing them avoiding her nipples. She pulled his head up and he went to kiss her face avoiding her lips. He rose and looked at her again, a look that told her how much he wanted her, and she returned the look to show him that she could not wait for him anymore. So he placed his hand on the side of her face and he gave her a very delicate kiss that turned into a full irrepressible mouthing.
The both of them were all over each other, holding their bodies and grasping their arms and legs.
She slid her hand along his side to remove his towel around his waist and she started to fondle his crotch but he was already so worked up that he stopped her and instead he covered her with kisses from head to toe, carefully taking his time when he licked her nipples and he ended up going down on her to taste her once more. She was so aroused from his tongue and fingers. He wanted to make her come this way first but she wanted him to come with her. So she reached for his head and called his name. He knew right away that she wanted him in another way.
He held her face and kissed her with passion. She kissed him back with the same fervor.
They stopped and gazed into each other's eyes when he went inside of her. The feel of it made them both gasp and when he moved with her, they were so close. Their bodies were hot and bonded together like never before. She groped his ass and his head as tight as he seized her shoulder and her butt cheek. They could not let go.
- "I think about you all the time Lucy. You're so beautiful." He told her as well as he could, breathing so unevenly. And when their merging became so satisfactory he jaggedly continued to talk to her. "Oh my God, Lucy, I luv…Oh God, Lucy!"
- "Oh God, Holt! This feels so good." She told him grasping him harder.
- "Come with me my love." He said his forehead glued to hers.
She was breathing out and he was breathing her in.
- "Oh baby, Oh God Holt!" She shouted before he screamed her name.
They made love like it was the first time and the last time, always ever so intimate and amazing together. They came simultaneously so wonderfully.
As they laid there after their lovemaking, still gripped together, Holt began to tell her something more:
- "Lucy I want to tell you I l…"
But before he could finish his sentence, she stopped him, not ready to hear it yet.
- "Don't say anything Holt. Not now."
- "But I l.."
She put her finger on his lips.
- "I know."
