Episode 55: Insecurities

Nicholas hadn't been all talk and no action when he said once they started making love to each other, they wouldn't be able to stop. Of course, this had been quite the challenge for Emily. Indeed, her stamina had seen a slight improvement over the course of working out with him but it wasn't enough to prepare her for what she was up against. The man had meant every word when he had said he wouldn't allow her to leave the bed for days. What was intended to be a second round turned into a third, and so forth. They had lost so much track of time that they hadn't realized they had gone into the following day in which they had planned to go sightseeing.

"This is all your fault," she panted as her cheek rested against his broad chest.

He played with the strands of her hair as the unsteady beating of both their hearts somehow became in sync.

"You said it'd be over once we did it again but your hands always betray your mouth."

"It's not my fault you're irresistible," he kissed the top of her head, making her shudder. "You make a man lose his willpower by just sparing one look."

She huffed at his sweet words before slapping his hard stomach.

"But I'm extra sore now. There's no way we'll be able to go sightseeing today."

Hearing the whine in her voice, Nicholas brushed her hair away to get a better look at her face.

As expected, she was beautiful.

Pausing for a moment to gather his wits, he bemoaned. "Sorry about that."

Her eyes narrowed.

"No you're not."

"You're right. I'm not." He agreed quickly making her let out a groan of frustration.

"I couldn't ever be sorry for the way you've been making me feel all this time."

He chuckled when she brought her hand up to choke him.

Grabbing ahold of her tiny hands, he scolded her playfully.

"Hey, hey. No choking. Unless you want to go for another round that is."

Her mouth dropped open.

"You're insatiable."

"I thought we already established this last night."

Emily's cheeks were that peek of champagne pink.

Even with the scowl on her face, her eyes shone in a way that only deep happiness could bring. It blossomed from within her heart and she couldn't hide it for all she was worth.

Her husband wasn't unheeding enough to not take notice of it.

"Your eyes are smiling." He stated, tracing the outlines of her gorgeous caramel orbs.

"That's because even when you're being a pain in the ass, I can't help but like you."

"Like?" His eyebrows raised unpleasantly.

She rolled her eyes.

"Love you."

He pinched her cheeks. "That's more like it."

Batting his hands away, Emily shifted her gaze out to the distance where the patio door was left open and gave a nightly view of the Eiffel Tower. She didn't think she'd ever be able to see the structure again without these past two days coming to her mind. It was like a reminder of all the passionate stirs which happened between them here. Because of that, it has now become one of her favourite things in life.
