Chapter 20;
Tallie p.o.v.
We got to Eric's flat in a number of minutes, and had ravished each other as soon as the door had closed.
I had, rather unwilling, had to leave the comfort of his arms to get ready for the album party a few hours later. I wanted to go, don't get me wrong, but I wanted Eric more.

Eric p.o.v
Tallie was stood in front of the mirror, getting ready for the album party. She was doing her mascara and had put it away when I gently pushed the bathroom door open.
I was standing in the doorway, looking her up and down. I hadn't seen this dress yet, but I liked it - a lot.
It was turquoise and lacy, showing just enough of her skin to be sexy. It was low cut but classy, clinging to every curve of her body and showing off her amazing legs.
I was wearing my well fitting black suit and Tallie had ordered me to wear my dark blue shirt, after telling me I looked 'stunning' in it. I smirked at the thought of driving her crazy all night.
I watched her as I walked up to her and stood behind her. "We don't have to go to this party, you know."
My hands started massaging her shoulders as I kissed her neck, which was exposed as her hair was up in an elegant bun. "We can stay here and entertain ourselves."
"Mmm, as tempting as that is, this is a party for your album - we can't miss it." I saw her smirk as she moved away towards the sink, trying to ignore my attempt at distraction.
"Are you absolutely sure about that?" I murmured as I walked up to her again and slowly started to massage her neck.
I breathed heavily in her ear before she turned around and rested her hands on my chest, looking up at me through smoky eyes.
"Anyone would think that we hadn't just 'entertained ourselves' for hours." She smirked. "Too much of a good thing isn't good, you know."
"No, it's amazing." I laughed, but knowing she had a point. She shook her head with a smile and looked at my clothes.
"Hmm. I really like that shirt." she stared at me for a while before shaking her head slightly, as if trying to clear it.
"Right," she said as she tapped my chest lightly. "We should be going. The car is outside, right?" I nodded.
She smiled at me and made to leave, but I stopped her with a hand grabbing her arm.
"Wait. You look absolutely stunning but you're missing one thing." I told her as I looked at her.
"What?" She asked, confused, as she looked down at herself.
I took my chain from around my neck and slipped it over her head, watching as it settled on her chest.
"There, perfect. Just in case anyone doubts what you mean to me." I kissed her lightly.
"But ... You never give this to anyone. You always wear it." She replied with a blush as she fingered it in disbelief.
"But you're not 'anyone'." She got on her tiptoes and kissed me tenderly.
"Thank you. I love it - and you."
"I love you more. Come on, we're already late." I smiled hugely as I offered her my arm. She took it and we left the house, on our way to the party.
