When Ellie woke up, she was slightly disoriented. She could feel her thighs aching slightly. Groaning quietly, she stretched her legs a little, a smile forming on her face. It had been much too long since she felt that way. Squinting because of the bright light coming through the curtains, she turned her head to look at what was heavy on her shoulder.

The fluffy mass of brown curls immediately painted a smile on Ellie's face and she sighed happily, rolling onto her side a little more so that she could wrap her arms around the man who was lying nearly on top of her. Gently caressing his warm skin, she snaked her arms around him, pulling him closer. Starting to stir a little, he let out a happy sigh.

Ellie smiled to herself and gently let her fingers wander over his back, waiting for him to wake up. It didn't take much longer, and when he slowly lifted his head. Chuckling a little, Ellie pushed the curls out of his face very gently. "Good morning, birthday boy."

"Morning," he mumbled, and lazily rested his head on her shoulder again, pulling her close to him again. "Did you sleep well, my dear?"

"Oh yes.." Ellie smiled, snuggling close to him. "Really well.. Really really well. You?"

Brian chuckled. "You really wore me out.."

"Are you complaining?" Ellie asked, laughing softly. "You seemed like you were enjoying it last night. Very much actually."

Shrugging with a smile, Brian looked at her. "I was.. It was a wonderful birthday present actually. Even though I hope I won't only get that on my birthday though."

"If you think I can behave myself around you for an entire year, then think again," Ellie told him and winked at him. "You are incredibly sexy. But I think you caught on to that last night.."

"Oh yes," Brian smirked. "Oh yes.." He teasingly moved his hand down her back and squeezed her butt. "I still don't exactly see why, but I am not complaining, not at all. It was quite hot. Actually it was very hot what you did.." He bit his lip and winked at her.

Ellie smiled widely at him. "You liked that? What exactly are we talking about now?"

"Well..." Brian blushed slightly. "Just like.. Everything. Really. I'm not exaggerating. You are really amazing."

She moved her hand from his back to his cheek and smiled widely. "Thank you. There will be more of that, don't worry. Simply because I can't resist you." She kissed him very softly and sighed happily.

"I'm not going to stop you, really not." He smiled and kissed her quickly as well. "Do you want to go take a shower? Together, I mean? What time is it?"

"Uhm.." Ellie looked at his nightstand. "Half past eleven.."

"What?" He widened his eyes a little. "Oh crap, we should get ready. I told my parents we'd be there at one and it takes about an hour to get there. Can we get ready in half an hour?" He got up, getting out of the bed immediately.

Ellie watched him with a smile and shrugged. "We can try. If not you can just call your mum and let her know we'll be a little late, don't you think?"

"Yes, that sounds like a good plan. We're going to have lunch there, so would you mind if we just skipped breakfast?" He held his hand out for her and pulled her up from the bed.
