Tied By Invisible Strings

''You look cold and you waited for me a while so I think it's best you get some heat in you'' I said my voice low. He pushed off the doorway making his way into the bathroom, ''If that's what you'd like I'll oblige'' he removed his shirt and jeans, I followed along before removing my socks and panties, stepping into the bath. He removed the last of his garments as he entered the bath laying down, I rested my back on his chest letting off a content sigh feeling as though I could breathe again.

''Better? my love'' His voice broke the silence I hummed in response the heat from water warming me up in an instant. ''I'm so tired after yesterday'' I spoke quietly. ''I know baby we will stay in the bath a little longer then we can go to bed, After all it is my weekend'' He wrapped his arms around my bare chest tightly in a comforting manner, I chuckled at his remark ''I'm surprised you even remember that'' 

''How could I forget, every moment I see you is a gift from the gods itself, my time with you is the best thing that happens to me every week... well it was every second weekend but that was just to far apart.'' He spoke into my ear his lips brushing off the tip sending  shiver down my spine. ''Well I like the sound of seeing you more often then'' I sat up spinning around to face him.

''Have you thought about returning back to work with me?'' He spoke once again moving his hand towards my arm his thumb rubbing in light circles. ''That's a lot of travelling for a week'' I rubbed the back of my neck, ''Move back then'' He requested that so abruptly I was taken aback. ''We just decorated this house and you want me to come back to the city?'' I stood up wrapping a towel around my body as I exited the bath, He stood up quickly following along as he crept behind me, I raised my head to watch him in the reflection of the mirror his arms wrapping around my waist. ''Technically I don't live in the city either'' My eyes grew wide at his comment, moving in with him? is that what he's suggesting.

''That's too soon Daniel'' I shook my head still watching him intently in the mirror, He rested his chin on my shoulder as he kept his gaze on mine, his expression full of sincerity. ''Maybe so but so what? I've decided it's you I only want'' I spun around to face him my hands gripping the edge of the counter. ''No if we are to do this it's slow and careful'' I held my ground with this topic I wasn't about to get rid of my house and then for us to fall apart, he needs to prove to me that he can hold a relationship. 

''Okay, okay fine we will do this at your pace'' he lifted me up on the counter nudging his way between my legs, ''So please come work for me again'' His face was inches away from mine, I looked downward at his lips unconsciously biting mine before averting my gaze, ''Fine but you're giving me compensation money for fuel!'' I smiled.

''Fuck yes'' he lifted me off the counter spinning me round like a lunatic, I couldn't help but burst out in laughter as I gripped onto him for stability. ''Now can we go to bed'' I groaned tilting my head back, he chuckled at my demand but complied. ''Yes bedtime''.

By the time we got into bed it was after 5am, I threw on a shirt and a pair of panties as I climbed under the duvet, ''come here a sec'' Daniel spoke quietly the room was dark if it wasn't for the mere glow of the moon we would be in pitch black. I leant over to him my head tilted in slight confusion, he pulled my hips forcing me closer to him as his lips crashed onto mine setting off a passionate kiss, his tongue entangled with mine as he pulled me closer the sudden contact causing me to moan a shiver running down my spine. 

He pulled away and I could tell he was smirking, ''that's for earlier I told you if you look at my lips kiss me and don't bite your lips like that next time either you make it hard for me to control myself''

''Then don't'' I spoke in a whisper, I told him ages ago I was ready to go further but there's never being a right moment to actually go ahead with things and I'm afraid there never will be, so I'll do what Lyra tells me and grab the bull by the horns. 

''You've no idea how long I've being waiting for you to say something, but we need to sleep, I can't perform half asleep'' I chuckled at his response but I agreed. I also wouldn't want to do it tonight after everything, ''I agree tonight has being eventful, goodnight Daniel'' I spoke turning over allowing him to spoon me.

''Goodnight beautiful''

Author's note

So I realise it's been over a week since my last post but I wasn't well and works being tiring!

I will do my best to get a routine or maybe I should start writing more than one draft and posting every other day. I'm not sure yet I will figure that out also!

ANYWAY.... I'm being cruel by edging you guys with this constant slow burn of Daniel and Bella not being able to do the deed.. first the cock block now this (rip john though) 

If it makes you feel any better it's annoying me not writing it but I would rather it be perfect or shall i make it sloppy... who knows anyways bye for now!!

Happy reading fellow bookworms
