Summer is in full swing, it's late July and the sun is shining. People are happier, the pubs are fuller and there is less clothing being worn. Summer is my favourite time of year. It's been a bit difficult the last few years because I was so ashamed of my body, as much as I loved Cyprus I kept my top half covered up so it was hard watching the girls in their bikinis soaking up all the sun but I am determined this year will be different; I am going away for ten days with Nan, my uncle and his wife. Joanna is Spanish, hence the trips to Spain. I will be wearing a bikini this time and I will get an amazing tan. We are leaving on Sunday night and I am going to miss Nathan loads. He has stayed nearly every night this week and tonight we are going out for a meal with the girls, their fellas and Jeff and Kelly.

"That was fun, I like that everyone gets on in our little group" I say later as we are getting ready for bed. "Yeah I enjoyed it too, now stop talking and get naked please, I need to make the most of your body before you take it away" he jokes. "I wish you were coming, I am really going to miss you. I promise to call whenever I can" We fall in to bed kissing; you would think we would have toned the sex down a bit by now but no, we still can't get enough of each other.

On the way to the airport I text him I will miss him and call him when I get to the villa, he doesn't reply, that's odd. We check our bags and get our tickets. "Why am I not sitting with you guys?" They are all together and I am on my own near the back. "I don't want to sit next to a stranger" I whine like a teenager. "Don't complain sweetheart, I'm sure it will be fine, the flight isn't that long" Nan tells me. I am right near the back of the plane at a window seat; there is only one seat next to me, waiting for its occupant. Staring out the window, I am thinking about lying by the pool with a drink in my hand but I am distracted by someone sitting next to me. "This is comfy, don't you think?" I'm in a world of my own I just nod in agreement, before realising I know that voice. I turn to see Nathan smiling at me. "What are you doing here?" I ask lunging at him and kissing the breath right out of him. "Thought it would be a cool surprise, your Nan asked if I could get the time off back in June when she was booking the flights" he tells me. I can't stop smiling this is going to be amazing, ten days of fun in the sun with my man.

"I am so looking forward to this, it was hard not letting it slip that I was coming and I had to hide my suitcase every time you came to stay" he says once we are in the air. "Well we will be by the pool, soaking up the sun before you know it"
"Yes I can't wait to see you walking around in your bikini" his voice is low and he has that look in his eyes. "Behave, we are sharing a villa with my family" I remind him. "Actually that's the other surprise, I wanted us to have some privacy and your Nan thought it was a good idea, so I booked our own villa; in the same complex though" he says. "You know what that means don't you? I might not even need a bikini" I tease. I lock eyes with him, biting my lip. "Emily, I'm warning you stop looking at me like that or I will have to take you to the toilet and join the mile high club" We giggle at each other, breaking the sexual tension, he pulls out his book and I pop my headphones in and listen to the holiday playlist I made especially.

Our villa is small but clean, it has a minimal look and the kitchen is perfect but we won't spend much time here to be honest so it doesn't really matter. The pool is the best part, it's just ours, decent in size, heated for late night swimming and luckily it's private. "This bed isn't as comfy as yours; but we probably won't do much sleeping anyway" I say siting on the edge of the large king size bed. He comes over and pushes me back, gently getting on top of me, kissing me. I enjoy it for a bit but push him off when things start to get heated. "Let's quickly unpack, it's late and I don't want to waste time doing it tomorrow" I say. "You little tease, fine let's unpack but then I want to fuck your brains out" he says. "You say the most romantic things"

The unpacking doesn't take long; I take a quick shower and come out to find a small bag on the bed, it's pale pink, Nathan is now in the shower so I go over and peek inside. All I can see is purple material I pull it out and lay it on the bed. It's stunning. I'm not sure I can wear this, I think to myself at first, but I quickly realise, this is Nathan of course I can wear this, he loves me. I slip it on and it fits perfectly, looking in the mirror I am pleasantly surprised, I look good. It's a satin and Chantilly lace baby doll with matching g-string, I grab a thin bathrobe and wrap it round me, sitting down to dry my hair. When Nathan walks back in I am still using the hair dryer, I see him look to the bed, I left the empty bag in the same place; he looks worried. I turn and smile at him when I'm finished "Everything ok?"
"I'm sorry if that was too much, forgive me I just saw it and thought it would look perfect on you" he says pointing to the bag. I open my bathrobe, letting it fall to the floor. He has his back to me, sitting on the bed, so I crawl up behind him and whisper "I think you have great taste". He turns round and stares at me. "Emily, you look stunning! I'm glad you like it, I was so worried about giving it to you" he babbles. I've never seen him so nervous. "Will you shut up and kiss me" I say. He stands up, dropping his towel in the process and pulls me to him, kissing me, running his hands all over me. I pull him down onto the bed and we spend the rest of the night taking our time to explore each other, savouring every moment.
