NORMAN

Over the next fifteen minutes, we both make a lot of sounds.

Sighs, little moans and growls of need. Tiny giggles whenever our lips part for a second....before we dive head-first back into each other.

Lu is letting out another sound now that makes me feel ten feet tall.

When I finally get some of my self-control back? I peel myself away from her body and sit up slightly.

I barely hear the shaky, whispered....almost breathless "Noooo"  that begs its way from her lips. Which are now swollen from my endless kisses.

Can't help myself. Gaze down at her....grinning from ear to ear.

Her eyes finally focus and I see that spark fire up. The one that gives me a fair warning?

That I've lost my place and she's going to put me right back in it!  😀

"Don't crow too soon, Reedus....I haven't tallied up your scorecard yet."

Laughing, I jump up. Grab the champagne and glasses plus a few cushions. I throw them on the ground and lie down, pulling her close to me again. Then I pour.

"So, how am I doing so far then?"

"Ummmm, I give you....a 7.5...."  She smirked at the peeved frown on my face.

"Hey! If I give you a ten? You might take your gold medal and retire from the competition. Gotta have something to aim for."

"Cheeky bitch"  I smile again and hand her a glass.

After she sipped I leaned over and licked her bubbly dampened lips.

"I love you, Lucy Jane Ashton. You finally believe me now, don't you? Please? "  I whisper.

She peeped up and I caught her look of shame.

"I know....I know that now. I'm so sorry for acting like a cow. It's a wonder you're still even speaking to me. I....ummmm....I need to tell you ssssomething, Norman."

'Oh, Baby'  I thought....it's Ok. If it'd been me in your position? I would've been devastated.

"No. You don't need to tell me, sweetheart. I know, about the phone calls and messages."

"Luce, she was out of my life for ages before we met. To be honest, we were pretty much kaput before I even moved in here."

"And she's never been in this house. Nor has any other woman....ever. Sorry, apart from Hel who came for a look-see once Ming's room was all set up. But there's been no other woman in my life since I met you."

It's important to me that she understands that and believes it.

"I've honestly got no idea why she's even contacting me after so long. I'm not interested. Not interested in any other woman....not since...."

"But I need to know, Luce. I mean....I know it upset you. But I need you to tell me....why?"

I already know the reason, I'm just getting desperate. Cos I need to hear her say  it.

Her eyes are so big and I can tell she's really struggling. Still afraid, maybe she thinks this is all another dream?

I pick up her lips again with mine, then whisper against them....

"Please tell me, Luce. I love you....please tell me...."

"I love you"  She whispered the words back to me.
