"Does anyone know the exact moment they fall in love with someone?" I have no idea.






Ethan brought the cup of tea he'd promised and settled down beside me.

"Mmmh... did you add honey?" I asked him as I took a sip.

"Yep," he threw his arm over my shoulder. "Sweeten up things a little bit..." he trailed off.

I smiled and focused on the movie.

Half way through the movie, I begun to feel terribly hot.

I'd just drank a very hot cup of tea and Ethan had switched on the heating system.

With that thought in mind, I shifted out of Ethan's arms and took off my Christmas sweater.

Thankfully I had a tank top underneath, so I wasn't too bothered about my state of undress.

"I just remembered something." He said out of the blues as I settled into his arms again.

He stood up and walked to the door, where we'd abandoned his duffel bag.

He searched through it and took out a black gift bag.

He then turned and marched towards me.

One thing was definitely sure, he had my full attention.

He looked straight into my eyes as walked over and finally settled into his previous seat.

"I got you a little something." He handed over the bag.

I was speechless. And, maybe a little too emotional.

"You really didn't have to... I didn't even get you anything, I couldn't hail a cab for Christ's sake..." I murmured.

"Just open it." He said as he wiped a tear away.

I obeyed his instruction without a second to waste and found a purple velvet box inside the gift bag.

I took out the box and was stunned to silence as I took in what lay inside upon opening.

Inside were the most beautiful pair of earrings I had ever laid eyes on.

They were emerald tear drop earrings.


They must have cost him a lot.

"When I saw them, I could only think of how beautiful your eyes are. Especially when they're full of happiness. I always want to see you happy." He spoke before I could.

My tears couldn't be stopped now. I was full on crying.

Had he always been this lovable??

I really don't deserve this, not after everything I've done.

"Don't think, just feel... When you think a lot, you forget to feel. I've been doing a lot of thinking and now that I have you in my arms," he whispered a breath away from me "I only want to feel." He finished.

"Ethan..." I trailed off as I got lost in his silver orbs.

This man was truly beautiful. Both inside and out.

How did I not realise how blessed I was?

"Ethan, you-" I tried again but was silenced as he claimed my lips with his.

I didn't need to think to respond. It was instant.

He kissed me like I was his last drop of water in a very hot desert.

He kissed me like his life depended on it.

Before I knew it, I was straddling him on the couch and kissing the life out of him.

He tasted like mint and everything beautiful.

His lips were firm yet soft, rough yet gentle, quick to devour me yet slow to enjoy every single minute of it.

His hands which had long settled on my waist, grabbed a butt cheek and squeezed which led me to gasp and provide him entrance into my mouth.

His tongue mastered every inch of my mouth and he didn't stop till I was breathless.

I broke off the kiss panting to get some air while he bent his head to place gentle kisses on my neck.

This man was skilled.

He found my sweet spot in no less than ten seconds and had me a moaning mess in his hands.

"God, the things you do to me with those sounds..." he whispered to my half asleep brain.

I couldn't comprehend anything at the moment but my body sure knew what to do.

My hands found the hem of his hoodie and struggled to take it off.

He eventually helped me take it off, leaving him in a white tshirt.

I gulped.

Every single muscle on this man's body was defined.

Where did he find time to manage a company and workout his eight pack?

I went ahead to take off his tshirt, and let me tell you...

This man, was surely sculpted by someone who knew what they were doing.

I ran my hands from his neck down to his torso and finally his abdomen.

God, the things he could do to me...

Every other thought flew off my mind as he kissed me again.

His kisses were a drug and I was an addict.

My hands roamed all over his naked skin and finally settled in his hair.

He made quick work of taking my tank top off, leaving me in my black lacy bra.

He resumed those addictive kisses of his while I pushed myself further into him.

He pulled away.

"We should probably stop now, you're not ready. I don't want to force you into something you're not ready for." He spoke.

My heart melted.

He only wanted this if I wanted it.

"Do you still love me?" I whispered as I laid my forehead on his.

"I certainly do. I love you, very much." He looked me straight into the eye as he spoke.

I smiled.

Looking straight into his eyes and unhookng my bra at the same time, I spoke.

"Then good. I'm ready." And with that I claimed his lips like a starved woman.

He stood up from the couch while I placed my legs around his waist and my hands on his neck, all the while still attached to his lips.

He successfully got us to my bedroom and gently placed me on my bed.

We made quick work of whatever clothes we had left and in no time, he was hovering over me.

"I want to worship every inch of you tonight, every crevice, every nook and cranny, every single spot, and by the time I'm done, the only sensible thing you'd be able to say is my name." He spoke huskily.

"I wouldn't have it any other way." I smiled.

"You probably won't be able to walk when I'm through with you," he chuckled and quickly claimed my lips.

At the same he freed one of his hands to tweak my left nipple and swiftly massage my breasts.

His lips trailed down to my neck and he sucked on my sweet spot.

He then kissed a path through my neck down to the valley of my breasts and swiftly taking one into his mouth.

I couldn't think of anything sensible. His ministrations were driving me crazy.

As he feasted on one breast, his hand massaged the other.

He then paid an equal amount of attention with his mouth to the other.

He then kissed a straight line down to my navel.

He paused to look at me and gave me a reassuring smile as he spread my legs further.

My core was leaking already, waiting for him to do something.

He didn't disappoint when he parted my folds and slipped a finger in, at the same time placing soft kisses from my inner thigh up to my aching core.

I was a moaning mess in his hands.

"God!!!" I cried.

"Not God, babe. It's Ethan."

He said and slipped in another finger as well as attached his warm tongue to my clit and that was all it took for me to let loose.

My throat was hoarse as he adjusted himself over me and placed a gentle kiss on my lips.

"I'll be gentle, I promise." He kissed my forehead.

I could only nod, not sure how he was going to fit.

This man was terribly huge and he was going to be my first.

I'd probably be split in half, but, it's worth it.

He kissed me with more force this time and before I knew it, he buried himself in me.

I screamed like never before. I probably woke up the entire neighbourhood.

He stilled for some time while gritting his teeth.

He supported his weight on his arms so as not to crush me.

I bit my lip until I drew blood, in hope of subsiding the pain.

"Are you okay?" He asked and a tear trailed down my cheek.

"Yes," I whispered.

He chuckled whereas his faced was morphed into an expression of pain.

"Then I'm probably not doing a good job yet. You're still sensible enough to answer a question, let's fix that." With that said, he completely pulled out and slammed into me again.

I couldn't see where I ended and where he begun.

We became one that night.

As I let loose for the second time that night, he spilled into me just as my bedside clock struck twelve.

"Merry Christmas." He whispered as he emptied himself in me.

I smiled.

"Merry Christmas."

He stayed still in me while he kissed me again.

"I love you." He searched my eyes.

That was when I realized how much I loved this man.

Regardless of whatever I did and said to him, he left his family to make sure I didn't spend the Christmas alone.

"I love you." I told him. "For real this time." I whispered lowly so much that he barely heard me.

He grinned as I used my hands to trace his face and slowly direct his lips towards mine.

"We should probably start working on Emily's Christmas wish, I promised her a little sister..."

And that people, is how we both slept at four AM on Christmas morning.

Me feeling more satisfied than I'd ever been in a long while.

I could finally say I was happy. And it'd be for real this time.
