Overjoyed

Chapter 20 - Hold me in your arms

I awoke to Dan lying adorably curled up beside me. I got up extra quietly so as not to wake him and quickly tiptoed off to the bathroom for a shower. As the water poured over me I recalled the sweet memory of the night before. I had only ever been with Jason, and that had been months ago, and it was nothing like with Dan. While the sex was good, we had never made love. Dan showed me the kind of tenderness and intimacy I had never known existed, even if it took a little nudge from me to get him out of his shell. I stepped out of the shower and dressed in a jeans and t-shirt.

Dan was sitting upright in bed when I entered the room. “Good morning love” he said with a little blush, “come here.” I walked over to the bed and he pulled me down next to him, making me laugh. “Why are you all dressed eh? We aren’t going anywhere just yet” he said darkly, hooking his thumbs into my jeans.

When Dan and I could eventually tear ourselves from our bed we headed over to the guys’ room and were met with whoops and cheers. Apparently they’d come looking for us that morning but didn’t knock because of what they could hear coming from inside our room. I blushed a deep shade of scarlet when Woody regaled us with the story. “Not bad mate” Kyle said to Dan, who looked shy beyond words. Will suggested we ought to all get some lunch and I hastily agreed, Dan and I having worked up quite an appetite that morning.

We strolled together to the upmarket restaurant on the ground floor of the hotel, ironically named ‘The Mezzanine”. We all looked a bit out of place amongst the stylishly dressed diners, receiving a few withering glances at our casual attire. As men, they didn’t notice, I did though, but shrugged it off. I had come to really enjoy the company of the guys, laughing at them ‘taking the mick out of each other’ as Dan often said. We were becoming fast friends, for which I was glad, as they were going to be a part of Dan’s life for a very long time and hopefully so was I. At the table we were informed that we’d be going out clubbing that evening and we’d better head to our rooms and rest up after our meal, which was delicious by all standards.

Dan and I were lying in bed, nose to nose, spent from our lovemaking. After lunch we could hardly wait to get back to our room, Dan’s look of pure carnal desire from across the table at the restaurant had my insides yearning for him. “Beautiful, my dear” he whispered as he played with a strand of my hair. “As are you” I said, and meant it. His blue eyes looked sleepy, and his hair post-fucking messy. He smiled shyly and his little dimples showed, melting my insides. “Will you sing for me?” I asked. “What would you like me to sing?” he asked, placing a hand on my hip. “Overjoyed” I breathed.
