We're Older Now

Chapter 9

I sigh happily as I feel the sunlight on my face. Stretching, I finally open my eyes. The curtains are open and Xavier is standing, looking out the window in his boxers. I can't help but just watch him, his gorgeous body in the sunlight as he gazes out the window. A thought struck me, if the sun is out and high the sky, that means I'm late for lectures and he's late for work.

"Morning handsome" He turns to me with his cute boyish smile. Walking to the bed, he crawls onto it, hovering over me. Dipping his head down he presses his lips to mine softly, his arms keeping him off me. I can't help but run my hands along his chest and abdomen.

"How'd you sleep?" He asks as he rests his forehead against mine.

"Good, what time is it though?" He leans over me, his weight coming down on me, making me groan and laugh as i know he did that on purpose. I watch as he grabs his phone from the bedside table to check the time.

"It's ten in the morning. I know I should have woken you up when I woke up but I took the day off and I was hoping you would do the same. Besides you looked so peaceful sleeping." He caresses my cheek softly and kisses my nose.

How can I give up the chance to spend the whole day with him? The man that I love. I smile up at him and press my lips to his, wrapping my arms around to the back of his neck and rolling up over so I'm straddling him. I trail short, tender kisses down his jawline and to the back of his ear where I hear him gasp slightly and his grip on my hips tighten. I guess I found his soft spot.

"I'm going to have a shower, you gonna join me?" I ask as I pull away, a soft innocent smile plastered on my lips. He stares at me with an amused smile, chuckling he nods and lifts me up, taking me out of the sheets. I laugh and wrap my arms around his neck.

"Mr Price I suggest you put me down" I can feel his chest shake as he chuckles.

"Well Ms Smith, I quite like having you in my arms...and you calling me Mr Price just puts more led in my pencil" I laugh and play with the small hairs on the back of his head.

"I didn't know you were the kinky sort of guy" I say with a laugh.

He laughs and sets me down on my own two feet and starts the shower. His hands on my hips as he leans forward to turn the taps, his body pressing against mine. I moan and rest my forehead between my hands which lay flat on his chest. I can feel his heartbeat under my hand. He traces circles with his thumb on my hip as we wait for the water to heat up. The steam starting to appear tells us its ready. I watch his ever move as he steps into the shower, the way his muscles flex and tense when he moves. I've never felt so awake and alert as I do now, the way he stares at me, no words being said as I step into the shower after him, his hand finding my hip again as he leans me against the wall in the shower, his lips lightly burshing against mine. His chest rising and falling against mine. There's something so pwoerful between us two, so intoxicating. I brush my hand through his hair and rest it finally on his chest.

"I love you Piper" I smile and press my lips to his.

"I love you too Xavier" He sighs and presses his forehead against mine.

"One day Piper, I'm going to get down on one knee and I'm going to ask you to marry me" He says as he places his hand on my cheek caressing my skin.

"Things may change. I mean we've been together for a week now" He chuckles and kisses my nose.

"I knew from the moment I saw you, that you were the girl I would spend the rest of my life with. I knew it then and I know it today, I love you and that will never change" I smile and wrap my arms around his torso, hugging him to me.

"What are we going to od today?" I ask while I put on his track pants and his jumper.

"If you keep wearing my clothes we wont leave this room" He huskily whispers in my ear. I look into his eyes through the mirror and smile as he rests his head in my neck, kissing my skin sfotly as his arms wrap around me from behind. His chest against my back.
