I wasn't tired, even if we had made furious love over and over again and nearly all night long.

The garden was dark and silent at that early hour and my gaze wandered about, from the little hut that he had built to the high trees scattered here and there in a seemingly casual way. But I remembered how long we had spent mapping out the garden; Sean was always trying to reach perfection.

Sighing softly, I backed away, stopping and smiling helplessly when I saw the framed photo.

That peculiar picture had been taken almost a year earlier, during our first vacation together.

It was my favourite one, and it showed a particularly beautiful landscape. At our backs there was a high mountain, topped in everlasting snow, in St. Moriz. Switzerland. Sean had rented a little chalet close to a blue pond, which was especially beautiful at dawn when the placid water reflected the mountain's shape crowned with the first rays of light.

But we discovered that only after the rainstorms that had welcomed us, had ended.

"Alright..." Sean mumbled, flashing his lover a smirk and a sidelong glance. "Even though we'll probably get soaked anyway, I'll get out first, open your door and try to shelter you somehow. So get ready." he said solemnly, leaning to seize the heavy coat from the backseat, and giving Alex a quick kiss in the process.

He faltered for a few moments then, gazing through the windshield, he pursed his lips slightly. He barely could discern the chalet's outline through the pouring rain. The wind howled; bending and tossing the fir trees scattered around the building; its strong gusts shimmying against the body of the car.

Not encouraging.

He braced himself, settling the coat over his head, and opened the door. Freezing. It was bloody freezing out there, and his coat was dripping wet even before he'd managed to circle the car and open Alex' door.

"Out!"

Jumping from the car, Alex settled under Sean's arm, took one of the two bags with their belongings and forced the car door closed. Then she wrapped her arms around Sean's waist and ran to the chalet. Little snowflakes were now hitting her face, but she didn't care. With numb fingers she fumbled in her purse searching for the key, and then she had found it. She somehow managed to open the wooden door and enter the chalet, pulling Sean inside and closing the door behind her.

They had to light a fire, for it was also freezing inside, but at least they had their pajamas, their toothbrushes and all the necessities for at least a few days.

Turning to have a look around, Alex sighed softly.

"The old lady said she would leave some food in the pantry. If you'd light the fire I'll go and cook something, then we'll have to change our soaked clothes and try to warm ourselves or we're going to catch a bad cold this time..."

"I'll take care of the fire" Sean agreed, ridding himself of the drenched coat. He did his best to smile as he grabbed the bag and laid it on the couch near the fireplace, even if his teeth were chattering. "But you'd better change your clothes now; I don't want you to get ill." Then, bending to fumble through their belongings, he handed her a large towel, adding: "Dry yourself. Then I'll help you with the food."

"I'll change my clothes only if you change yours..." she muttered pensively, eyeing him with critical eye. He was completely soaked, from head to toe, and it was evident that he was struggling not to tremble.

Alex noticed how cold he was only when her fingers brushed his hand while she was taking hold of the towel.

"You're freezing!" she exclaimed, touching his right cheek with the back of her hand, for her fingers were faring no better. "We'll both change now, understand? Undress yourself, Sean... don't be stubborn..."

Sean couldn't help but chuckle, despite the cold and the soaked clothes, he eyed his Alex attentively. "Alright, alright" he nodded, rubbing his hands together in an attempt to warm them up a little bit. "Hang on just a minute."

His fingers were quite numb, and the rest of his body was faring no better. Alex was indeed right. She always was, he thought with a smile, before kneeling in front of the fireplace to light the fire. Mentally he thanked the owner of the house, for she'd left them enough firewood for at least a few days. Quite considerate of her, really.

In no more than a couple of minutes a small fire was crackling and Sean was standing up, yanking off his sweater and hurling it to the side.

"It's bloody freezing!"

Chuckling, Alex threw him a towel, which ended up on his head, while wrapping herself in another one. She was naked except for her underwear, which was just a little damp.

"I'm not complaining at all, blockhead, so just...suffer in silence. There's nothing more we can do..." she then said amusingly, searching for another sweater.

She found a large, white one, which barely covered her thighs. Better than nothing.

Glancing at her beloved, she sat upon the carpet near the fire, warming herself a moment before considering what to cook.

Doing his best not to complain again, Sean steeled himself to remove his jeans. All he allowed himself to utter was a distressed growl, while rummaging into the bag in search of dry clothes.

He knew that Alex was enjoying that immensely. Oh yes, he knew. He could almost sense that she was grinning, though he couldn’t see her face. His suspicions were confirmed when he heard a soft chuckle from behind him, and despite his distress he couldn't help but grin as well.

"You're a bit of a sadist, you know that?"

"No, I'm not..." she actually grinned, her gaze eagerly roaming over his body. And she had to chuckle again, despite all.

"I just like to observe your shapely ass clad in those nice boxers, and the way your socks are all messed up and rolled on your ankles... I have to say you're quite a sight, my love..."

An eyebrow dangerously raised, Sean turned his head to look at her. Then he glanced down at his socks, and the mischievous grin returned to his face.

"Bother you, do they?" he demanded, bending in order to take them off. The grin widened when he lowered his boxers as well, without averting his gaze, and kicked the garment away. He didn't turn around, though, but went back to his rummaging, picking some quite loose fitting grey cotton pants and a black sweater.

He got dressed quietly, with no underwear at all, and went to sit on the carpet behind Alex, pulling her back to rest against his chest.

"Any better now?"

"It's always better when you hold me..." she murmured softly, leaning against him. Sighing softly and entwining her fingers with his.

She loved that warmth. The cozy reassurance of his heartbeat against her back. His breath ghosting over her neck.

"I love you, did I already tell you today?" she asked then, turning her head enough to be able to look at him. Smiling helplessly when their eyes met.

"Nay, not today.." he replied softly, leaning to bestow a lingering kiss on her cheek, and then playfully nuzzling her soft skin. She was warmer already, he found out with some relief. Both were. Must have been that closeness, if not, just physically having Alex that close was always enough to warm his very soul; to make him feel at peace with the whole world. His embrace tightened as the thought crossed his mind.

"And I was starting to worry, seriously... the last time you told me was yesterday night..."

A devilish grin appeared on her face as images of their passionate lovemaking of the night before flashed through her mind.

She loved him more than her very life. And the mere thought scared her to death. The intensity of their bond frightened her.

"Well, I'll make it up to you now. I love you, Sean... I love you so much..."

"And I love you more than anything" was his reply, "You know that, don't you?"

There was no need for an answer, for the look in her eyes spoke volumes to Sean. He smiled warmly, his chin resting on Alex' shoulder. His hands were reaching for her calves, sliding slowly up to her knees and thighs, then sneaking their way beneath the woolen sweater in order to caress her sides and stomach.

"Indeed you're warmer now.."

"You are contributing a whole lot to me becoming warmer and warmer..." she almost purred, smiling and closing her eyes, resting her head against his and relishing his touch. Always gentle and tender, Sean usually managed to turn her on. No matter how critical the situation was. He needed just a couple of minutes, and he would be in control. He was all a woman could desire. Strong and passionate, yet sweet and kind when he wanted to.

Sean knew exactly how and where to touch her, bringing her to the brink of pleasure just to draw back and extend the sweet torture. And the best of all was that she loved it. A lot.

Sean's response was a smirk, promptly followed by a small bite on the side of Alex' neck. His wandering hands didn't stop their stroking and exploring, and while one was still busy fondling her stomach and playfully teasing her navel, causing her to wiggle in protest, the other slowly crept its way underneath her panties.

"Must check properly" he whispered in her ear, as if to justify himself, even if he knew that she wasn't likely to complain anyway. "Will you allow me, love?" he asked then, dipping in order to trail a moist path from her shoulder to her ear with his tongue.

"Will you?"

Her features were slowly relaxing, a smile curving the corners of her lips. Adjusting her position, she widened her legs further to grant him better access. In the meanwhile, her probing hand was finding her way to his shaft, which was already hard and burning through the soft fabric of his pants.

"Of course... and it seems that you're feeling better, too..."

"A whole lot better..." he agreed, gasping softly when a second later he found himself enclosed by Alex' hand; her palm and fingers cool around the hot flesh. It wasn't unpleasant, at all. It rather turned him on quite badly, as a matter of fact, and his own hand redoubled its efforts in stroking and probing and teasing in between Alex' thighs almost out of reflex. She was hot, too. And slick; only getting slicker with every stroke, for Sean's middle and index fingers slipped easily inside, finding her ready for him. And that alone was more than enough to force a shuddering moan to slip past his lips.

Her panties were now damp with her own juices. So she kicked them away carelessly. Just then she turned around to face Sean, kneeling in front of him. Looking intensely into those green opals that were now clouded with lust, her hands slowly reached for the hem of her sweater. She sensually caressed her own skin while she slid it over her shoulders.

A moment later it had been thrown away, and her lacy bra followed it shortly after. Alex found she wasn't cold anymore. On the contrary, she was feeling hot, burning with desire for her man.

Still looking straight into his eyes, Alex' hands started to tease her own nipples. Stimulating them mercilessly with light pinches, soft caresses and brushes.

Following eagerly her every move, Sean remained completely still for a few moments, both hands now resting on his thighs and clutching at the soft cotton.

"Lie back" he said suddenly, a barely noticeable edge of command in the low tone of his voice. He hinted a smirk when Alex complied and lay on her back. Then he adjusted his position, so that he was kneeling in between her parted legs.

"Don't stop" he commanded softly then, while reaching to lower his pants enough to free his straining erection, his fingers wrapping around the swollen flesh at once. He started to stroke himself slowly, unhurriedly, shamelessly, his eyes unwavering. He wasn't embarrassed at all, not even when a helpless shudder rippled through him, and waves of fiery pleasure started to spread slowly from his loins to his whole body.

The sight of his lover so abandoned right in front of him was almost too much, and yet not enough.

"Touch yourself, and look at me" he whispered, "Look at me, Alex."

One of Alex' hands slid down, until she reached the slippery knot in between her legs. Struggling to keep her eyes open and to not let go and surrender to the pleasure.

Her gaze often shifted to his hand, eagerly following his every move. Finding the sight of her beloved so busy in pleasuring himself incredibly enticing. His lips were slightly parted and his breathing was wheezy.

When she saw the little glistening drop of pre-cum on the tip of his shaft she couldn't suppress the urge to do him a blowjob. A moment later she was already crouching in front of him, sinking down to take him in her mouth.

Sean's stilled his hand's movements, but did not remove it from its grip. The other was already reaching for her head, eager green eyes staring down at her and fingers tangling in her still damp dark hair. Fingers that closed into a fist when Alex swirled her tongue enticingly around the tip, forcing Sean to close his eyes and to buck his hips in a quite demanding fashion.

Deciding to extend his torment, Alex smiled to herself, withdrawing.

Only when he had completely relaxed, she brushed away his hand. Nuzzling the heated skin of his groin. Her fingers tangling in the reddish curls at the base of his shaft. Her tongue following the path of his prominent veins. Nibbling at them now and then. Sometimes her mouth would leave his skin, just to gently blow at it, creating an enticing contrast between her hot mouth and the chillness of the air.

Sean was shuddering quite fiercely by then, craving for more, and mentally begging her to just take him into her mouth and suck him hard; granting him release. On the other hand he didn't want it to end yet, and not like that. Not that it would have been over anyway, they had a whole night ahead and he wasn't planning to show any mercy at all. He was pretty sure that all that teasing was going to drive him insane within minutes, and he was more than willing to return the favour later.

"Indeed you are a bit of a sadist..." he managed to pant when Alex raised her gaze to look at him, a mischievous sparkle in her bright eyes.

Oh, so damn tempting. Almost too much, again. Almost too much, to have Alex on her knees in front of him, her tongue dancing, swirling and trailing damp paths over his throbbing flesh.

The grasp on her hair tightened even more when such a sight elicited him another long shudder. He couldn't take any more. And it was probably time to beg aloud, especially if he didn't want her to tease him like that forever, or make him come just with her tongue.

"Suck me.."

Sensing that he couldn't take anymore of this, Alex showed him mercy. Positioning the tip of his shaft in between her moist lips, she raised her eyes to look at him. Shuddering helplessly when she saw the look in his eyes. That look of love, lust, desire, longing, all mingled with a thousand other emotions.

Just another lingering look, and then she lowered her head. Taking him in to the hilt. Feeling his head brushing against the back her throat, she closed her eyes to concentrate. She relaxed her muscles, and allowed him to penetrate even deeper.

Closing his eyes with a groan, Sean threw his head back the very moment he felt himself being taken completely in by that wonderful, sultry dampness that was Alex' mouth. Then he cupped her face in his hands, with all the gentleness he could muster, in order to keep her still for at least a few moments.

It was too soon. He had to regain a little bit of self control if he wanted it to last.

"I love you" he breathed, eyes still closed. "Love you.."

Then he rocked his hips back, ever so slowly, feeling like he was about to swoon, or die, or come straightaway due to the keen pleasure and the opulent slide of his lover's tongue and lips, his head spinning fast.

Placing both hands on his buttocks, Alex stilled his movements. Caressing the soft firmness of his backside. Sean was still tonic and statuesque despite his age, for he still worked hard at the gym three times a week.

Alex felt him tremble, and she understood he was almost done for. So she just took it slow, letting him penetrate her again, inch after inch. All the time caressing his shaft with her tongue. Sucking it softly and enjoying his uncurbed moans. Sensing that he was already close.

More than decided to have him coming in her mouth, Alex suddenly sucked him hard. Pushing his hips forward, so that he was completely buried in her mouth. No possibility to escape.

In that same moment, Sean let go of her face and laid both hands on her shoulders, in an attempt to balance himself. And a loud groan burst from his throat, as each and every muscle in his body tensed and the first waves of intense pleasure rushed through him, the grip on Alex' shoulders tightening just as abruptly.

Mine, was his last coherent thought. Mine.

His, all his as he shuddered and twitched and cried out, all his as he spent himself into her mouth, flooding, conquering, claiming; marking Alex as his and his alone.

Swallowing every drop of his semen, Alex glanced up at him. Smiling softly when she saw the utterly pleased expression on his face. She loved to see him undone. And the thought that she had been able to give him pleasure was almost enough to make her day.

Kneeling in front of him, Alex rested her weight on her heels. Cupping his face with both hands and kissing his forehead. Closing her eyes while her hands reached to caress his slightly damp hair, she sighed contently.

"I love you..."

"Love you too.." Sean whispered back, wrapping his arms around her in order to pull her even closer. Then he smiled, still panting and flushed, and kissed first her cheek and then her lips with the utmost tenderness, all the while stroking her hair, which had dried up properly by then, thanks to the fireplace and the pleasant warmth that had already replaced the freezing cold that had welcomed them upon their arrival.

"Are you hungry?" he murmured against Alex' lips, still smiling. "I just can't wait to return the favour..."

"It seems that you are hungry, my love..." she grinned, bestowing the softest of kisses on his lips.

She sometimes still wondered how he could manage to be so insatiable. It seemed like he could never have enough; sometimes making love to exhaustion.

Not that it bothered her. On the contrary, she was much pleased to deal with his hunger. Alex never drew back. She just gave in, enjoying whatever pleasure he wanted to give her.

Grinning back, Sean stood, settling down his clothes before offering Alex his hand in order to help her up. "Do you realize that we have yet to see the rest of the house?" he chuckled, shaking his head amusingly. "We could have something to eat, then say... move to the bedroom?"

"Deal" she grinned, putting on her panties, her sweater and heavy woolen socks.

"I'll take care of the food; you can go upstairs and check the bedroom, just to see if everything is ok. I'll catch up to you in no time..."

Having said that, Alex hurried to the kitchen. She pensively pursed her lips while opening the fridge. Much to her surprise, the old lady had left them some swiss cheese, sweet bread, tomatoes, salad and some ham.

Some minutes later Alex climbed up the stairs. She peeped through the half closed doors in search for the bedroom, a huge plate in her hands. She had prepared slices of cheese and ham, little toasts, some bread and tomatoes. Somehow she was sure that they wouldn't manage to eat much anyway.

When she entered the room Sean was already naked and in bed, arms crossed behind his head, and an amused smile on his face. He had already managed to light the fire, and was obviously pleased with the house. The bedroom was quite wide, too, and carefully furnished. The walls were overlaid with the same dark wood as the floor and the large bed, which seemed quite comfortable. On top of all this, the view outside the window was breathtaking, even more so since it had just started snowing.

She settled the plate on one of the nightstands, and proceeded to yank off her sweater and drop it onto the floor. She smiled softly as she slipped under the blankets, looking around the room as she did, with an expression of utter satisfaction on her face.

"Everything is so beautiful here..." she breathed when she finally shifted on her side, propping up on her elbow, and staring at him. Her hand reached to caress his hair.

"It is" he agreed, staring intently at her. "But mostly because we're here together, cut off from the rest of the world for the next week... and I'll also tell you a little secret... come closer" he whispered, grinning. When she complied Sean's grin widened, and he leaned out to whisper in her ear: "My cellular phone is switched off."

That alone was indeed something unusual, for he was used to always keeping it on both night and day, in case of urgent business matters. But this week was just for the two of them, and nothing else mattered. Not even his beloved career.

"Is it?" she asked, now smiling brightly. She leaned in to kiss his lips, happy beyond any measure.

He was here; alone with her. No more calls from his agent. No more work. No more ex wives or daughters. Just the mountain, a beautiful chalet, and a storm outside. Indeed it was wonderful. Even better than what she had hoped for.

"I think I know what this means" Alex then said, a wicked expression upon her face. "We will spend almost all week in bed...or to be more specific, on every useful surface such as counters, the floor, the wall, the rug, the windowsill... tell me my love.. Am I forgetting something?"

"Oh, yes" Sean chuckled, nodding. "Yes, you are. What about the bathroom? You know, there are many enticing things we could do in the tub or under the shower... or with you leaning onto the sink and me behind... does it not sound most enticing?" he whispered, raising an eyebrow while his hands crept their way to grasp her buttocks beneath the heavy covers.

"How could I forget the sink..." she grinned, nearing his face and brushing her nose against his. All the while staring intensely in his eyes. Her nipples were now unintentionally brushing against his smooth chest, making her shiver in delight.

Closing her eyes, Alex repeatedly darted her tongue on his lower lip. Slowly. Sensually. Enticingly.

A delighted sigh came from Sean as his eyes closed as well, his legs twining with Alex' in an attempt to get her closer. He had to fight to stifle a chuckle when their groins touched, and he found himself getting hard already. Again.

"God, Alex... you're gonna kill me one of these days.." he whispered, returning the favour by tracing the outline of her lips with his tongue, before he plunged it quickly into her mouth and retreated to meet her eyes. Grinning.

"C'mon, don't tell me you don't like it..." she grinned back, brushing the tip of her nose against his own. Clinging to him, her hands were now busy roaming all over his back and shoulders.

She had never been so satisfied with her sexual life. It seemed that it needed nothing more than some kisses or caresses to put both on fire. And she was more than pleased to see that even with the passing of time they didn't seem likely to subside to the monotony. Not at all.

"I didn't say that I don't like it." was Sean's solemn reply, which he followed by another kiss, a quite demanding one this time. At the same time he started to grind his hips against hers in a very suggestive fashion, moaning helplessly into her mouth before breaking the kiss in order to move down to tease her neck with his mouth, tongue and teeth.

"I was rather implying that it's all your fault."

"It's not my fault..." she whispered, gasping in surprise at one of his bites. She shuddered and moaned softly when he licked at the tender skin to soothe the pain.

"It's you... you are way too sexy for me...a temptation..."

Sean smirked against her skin at those words, pleased beyond measure by her always enthusiastical responses. Her moans alone were more than enough to make him crave for more.

"I know" he murmured in between kisses and gentle bites, his hands now creeping in between their bodies to search for her nipples. "I know you want me just as much as I want you. I can feel it... I can hear it, taste it, and even smell it."

"That's why I love you so much" she breathed, closing her eyes. Slightly trembling due to his caresses. Already panting and dripping wet.

Without faltering the least bit, her hand wrapped around the oversensitive skin of his shaft. Squeezing it teasingly.

"You understand me without needing for words..."

"Oh, indeed" he almost moaned, thrusting his hips slightly forward as a reflex to her welcomed attentions. But it didn't take long for him to realize that it was in fact quite unfair. He'd already had his share, had he not?

Time to return the favour.

His larger hand settled over hers, his thumb caressing its back tenderly for a moment before he moved it aside. Then Sean was smiling at Alex' puzzled expression, and suddenly vanishing under the covers in order to nibble his way to her breast and sides.

"Wha--" she began, when a squeak of surprise erupted from her. Her body wriggling and jolting under his touch.

A soft smile then enlightened her features, and she closed her eyes. Completely abandoned and utterly relaxed. She felt every touch knowing he would more than likely taste each and every inch of her skin. She parted her legs at once as he furthered his ministrations, letting him settle in between.

"Yes..." she heatedly breathed when she felt him widen her folds with two fingers.

Grinning to himself, Sean merely brushed his lips on the slippery knot at the top before to draw back again. Though the few layers of heavy blankets hampered him from hearing his lover's vocal responses properly, he hadn't missed the barely audible whimper coming from above. And his grin was even wider now. A wicked grin, one that promised endless teasing and excruciation.

When Alex' fingers tangled in his hair he took some pity, and flickered his tongue quickly over the heated flesh, as if just to sample the familiar taste. Then he drew back once more, his hands starting to stroke her inner thighs with slow motions, and it was but a few moments later that he ducked again, circling her clitoris so very slowly with his tongue without actually touching it, even if he was already struggling not to just dip in between those so shapely legs and ravish her with his mouth, tongue, fingers, anything; anything just to give her pleasure and hear her moans; anything just to feel her squirm under his touch.

By then Alex had lost the barest hint of control she had left. And was shamelessly begging for more; her eyes closed and her legs widely spread apart. All that teasing was having the effect of strengthening her every sensation. Making her shiver and wriggle at each and every touch. Everytime she believed he would have showed mercy, he retreated. Soon she was wantonly pushing back to force him to touch her properly. She trembled and quivered.

He was like a wild animal ready to jump on her. Enjoying his teasing and probably her begging.

Images of him ravishing her, his face buried between her legs while his hands gripped her thighs, made her moan loudly. Her head thrown back on her pillow, and her face transfigured by the sheer pleasure.

But a moment later, Sean's hands actually gripped her thighs in order to still her movements. Then the tip of his tongue was teasing again, sliding slowly down the cleft to linger at the tight entrance and lap hungrily at the overflowed, slippery essences gathered there, with quite some relish and a rapturous hum. Once again he drew back, licking his lips, but this time dipping again at once, in order to dart his tongue inside and pull it out just as quickly.

He was almost painfully hard by then, and all that rubbing against the sheets and the mattress wasn't helping him cool down at all. Alex' heated moans and whimpers, too, were having a devastating effect on him, but he didn't want to grant her release yet.

Just a little more teasing, he thought as his hands left her thighs and reached to move aside the covers. He had to breathe. Though it was wonderful to be there in between her legs, it was hot and damp and enticing; he had to breathe.

"I'm sure you don't want me to choke down here" Sean smirked, looking up at her. Staring straight into her eyes even when a moment later he slipped a finger inside, probing and pushing shamelessly for a few seconds. Really just fucking her, and then stopping again. Cruelly.

"Beg... beg now." he murmured wickedly, and raised an eyebrow while licking his lips in a very suggesting fashion.

Alex was quite impatient by the time. And she tried to bring her hands down to find release without his help. But he brushed them away. Wickedly.

"Not wise to tease me for so long..." she hissed, frowning. "You know I become really nervous when you push it too far..."

Then she tried to stand up, or at least to roll aside and touch herself. Clearly she was taken aback when he gripped at her sides. His eyes clouded with desire, lust and passion.

"What?"

"I'm in charge now," he answered, "so you'd better be nice to me. And I'm sure you wouldn't touch yourself unless I'd allow you to."

It was obvious that he was just playing, but not thoroughly. Not since he was already standing up and making his way to the door.

"Don't touch yourself." he reminded her menacingly, before hurrying downstairs.

Not a minute later he was there again, a scarf in his hand and a triumphant grin on his face as he climbed on the bed again, lying at Alex's side. He smirked at her puzzled expression, utterly pleased to see that she had obeyed and had not touched herself at all, her arms abandoned along her sides.

"Good girl..." he whispered, and leaned in to claim her mouth in an attempt to distract her as he grasped her wrists and brought them up over her head.

Widening her eyes in surprise, Alex broke the kiss to look up at her bound wrists. The white scarf was being tightly secured to the headboard. She had never done this before, thus she looked back at him, worried about the whole matter.

She knew he would have never hurt her. Yet there was a strange light blazing in the depth of his green eyes.

And there it was again. That sensation that she was with a wild animal. Something bigger than her. Someone who could be hardly handled.

"Wh--what are you doing?"

"Teaching a lesson." Sean murmured, grinning, and then drew back in order to have a proper view of his lover bound, completely naked and at his mercy. One of the most enticing sights he'd ever seen. If not the most enticing of all.

"Next time you'd better just beg, really..." he teased, chuckling quietly at her outraged expression when their eyes met again. He crawled his way in between her legs again, grasping her thighs firmly, and widened them further until she was almost indecently exposed to his eager gaze. Then, without faltering at all, he dipped and swirled his tongue over the small bulb at the top of the slit, over and over, his eyes never leaving hers.

Fighting the urge to cry out loudly, Alex didn't close her eyes. Her pride being in their way once again.

Yet her traitorous body was eagerly responding to his caresses. Trembling helplessly due to the almost unbearable pleasure. She was feeling as if she was alone in the universe. Nothing else mattered but her body and the waves of pleasure rippling through it.

"I'll never beg. And you know that..."

Sean raised an eyebrow in response, his mouth being otherwise engaged, now sucking and teasing the small knot with quite some fervency. When he felt her tremble he stopped, sensing that she was too close again, and raised his head.

"If not begging, you can be sure that I will at least have you crying out loud very soon." he murmured, matching the statement with a gracious smile. "I think I'll just take you closer and closer to the edge without actually granting you release, but fear not" he continued, his hands sliding up and down her inner thighs, "I won't let you go unfulfilled. I'm not that heartless. Am I?"

"You bastard..." she hissed, matching the statement with an analogue sweet smile, gripping at the scarf as if it could give her the power to not yield and cry as he wanted.

Not that the whole situation wasn't enticing. On the contrary. But she was too proud to admit it. And hated the way Sean seemed to know each and every one of her weak points. And so well that if he wanted it, he could have her begging and whimpering shamelessly.

The game was too tempting to let it go that way. Looking at him in a challenging fashion, she smiled again.

"Free me..."

"Never."

Then he was getting down to business again, his tongue swirling and stroking and flickering, his mouth sucking enthusiastically now and then. And two of his fingers slipped easily inside, although this time he pushed and pulled only a couple of times, with excruciating slowness, before stopping.

"So close, aren't you?" he demanded with a smirk, even if he was well aware that his eyes were probably showing all too well how much he wanted her.

So beautiful. Just so beautiful, legs wide apart and face flushed; lewdly submitted to his will. His Alex. The sight would most probably haunt him for the rest of his life.

"Aren't you, love?"

"Damn it Sean!" she almost yelled at him. Tugging at the scarf in an attempt to free herself. Her eyes were now blazing with rage and unfulfilled desire. She wanted him. She needed him. The pleasure threatening to overwhelm her. He had never pushed it so far, and Alex wasn't used to being teased .

"Fuck me! Fuck me hard, but do it now !"

"That's it" Sean murmured, unable to suppress a shiver at the unexpected outburst. Wild. That was just what he was trying to achieve, right from the start.

He pulled out his fingers, staring straight at her when he brought them to his mouth in order to lick them clean, before he moved upwards to reach for her breast.

In control. He had to seem in control of the whole situation, even if he was in fact aching to take her and his whole body was screaming for release, the gathered tension almost too much to bear.

His mouth was fastened to one of her nipples, sucking hard, when his hand crept to her belly and further down again. No teasing this time, his touch was urgent when he started to stroke the impossibly swollen and slippery nub, the pace frenzied. He only had to push her a little closer, but without hurling her over the edge yet. Of all things, he was sure that once inside he wouldn't be able to give her more than a few good, hard thrusts before he would come as well.

Alex twitched, and he knew that it was time. Without further ado he halted his hand and thrust his hips forward roughly, burying himself in to the hilt. Clenching his teeth not to cry out loud.

Alex instead wasn't able to restrain herself anymore. She repeatedly cried out, in time with each powerful thrust. Closing her eyes while her hands were gripping at the scarf. Almost ripping it apart.

The tension in her lower belly was growing more and more intense. The familiar heat beginning to envelope her. Making her shiver and whimper and tremble.

The climax came just a moment later, shattering and almost violent. And she felt the need to burst into tears due to all the tension accumulated during their petting session. She cried out loudly, her back arching and raising from the mattress, barely hearing him mutter something unintelligible as he came hard, spurting hot semen inside of her. Trembling helplessly, he collapsed onto her body.

The first thing Sean did, once he'd recovered at least a tiny bit, was untie Alex and throw away the, by then, quite battered and crumpled scarf. Then, without a word, he took her in his arms and hugged her tight, cradling her most tenderly in his arms.

"All my life" he whispered, kissing her forehead. "That's what you are..."

"And you're mine..." she whispered back. Wrapping her shapely arms around his neck and staring intensely in his eyes.

Beautiful. He was always beautiful and sexy.

And quite oddly after what they had shared, she loved him even more. As if the bond that kept them together had grown stronger.

"I love you... I really do..."

"I know" Sean murmured, hinting a smile, before dragging himself up to bend over and pull the covers on both, since they were still quite flushed and sweaty after all the previous commotion. Then he lay at her side again, sighing softly as he snuggled closer and nuzzled her neck.

"Love you too.."

Even before she could respond, an even too familiar trill resounded into the room. A cell phone.

Chugging in annoyment, Alex folded her arms on her chest, looking quite vexed.

"I thought you had switched it off..."

Sean, on his part, was looking quite puzzled. "I did..." he mumbled, winding the bedcover around his waist as he climbed off the bed, and then hastily left the room. A few moments later, he was back, the little gadget still ringing in his hand, his right eyebrow was arched in a very outraged fashion.

"I believe that this, m'lady," he muttered while handing her the phone, "belongs to you."

A quite flushed Alex took hold of the phone. Without daring to look at him, she examined the little display.

"It's Gwen..." she murmured, wondering if she should answer.

She needed only a glance at him to make her decision. It was their week .

A moment later, her phone was turned off and settled aside on the nightstand.

"Forgive me..."

"Maybe I will." Sean replied, sitting on the bed at her side and struggling to hold back a smile. "But you'll have to feed me now, and then cuddle and cherish me all night in return, or else my revenge will be terrific, you can be sure of that.."

"I swear..." she whispered. Wrapping her shapely arms around his neck, she pulled him closer, resting her forehead against his.

I was snapped out from my reverie when I heard him calling me from our bedroom.

All of a sudden I noticed the chilly morning air, and I clutched at my shirt while I hurried to the stairs, only after another look at the photo .

I was unable to stop myself from shivering, and my teeth were almost chattering by the time I reached the freezing marble tile at the top. But once I reached the bedroom I had to smile. Gorgeous. He was the most sexy man I'd ever seen. Even outstretched in bed early in the morning with his hair tousled and his eyes half-open.

Mine. I thought while I hurriedly reached the bed, jumping onto it and snuggling close to him. Mine.
