"We're on the same page."

That statement carried a massive weight tonight. I was admitting to myself and to Sébastien himself that we were indeed in sync when it came to us. No one was imagining things, we really were all in when it came to what we had between us.

And he seemed as happy as me that we had gotten that doubt out of the way early in the night.

It only hit me that I had never seen where Sébastien had been living in London, the moment he opened the door of his house for me. The one bedroom flat screamed luxury, from the expensive looking furniture to the fancy painting on the walls. But then again, a one bedroom flat in Kensington, with a view to Holland Park, in Central London, was a luxury on its own accord.

"Can I take your coat?" He asked, interrupting my thoughts.

"Of course." I pursed my lips together, and let them curl up into a smile, before removing my coat and handing it to him.

He placed it on the wrack behind the front door and returned to where he was, next to me. His own black coat now gone, too.

"I had never seen where you live." I echoed my thoughts out loud. "I thought you were staying at a hotel or... something."

A blond wave of his hair fell off his head, cascading down his forehead, almost covering his blue eyes.

"This isn't my apartment, it's my friend's. He's been away and he's let me stay here as long as I need."

"Nice."

After putting my purse down on the marble island, I took a couple of steps towards the closest window. Being a tall building, I could see the twinkling lights of the city from the third floor. A few short minutes later, I could feel Sebastien's hot breath on my neck. He'd crossed the room and met me by the window, his scent becoming a constant.

"Do you want a drink?" The French accent was there, and I loved how it sounded so faint, as his voice almost gave in when he whispered in my ear.

I did want a drink. This is my first night out in a very long time, and I wanted as many drinks as he'd offer. But I also wanted to stay sober for the rest of the night, because I wanted to remember it for a lifetime.

"A glass of wine would be great."

"Red or white?"

"You pick." I lifted my shoulders in a shrug before following him back into the kitchen and taking my seat on a tall stool that stood around the island, while watching him as he grabbed two large wine glasses and filled them with red wine from what looked like an expensive bottle.

We remained in comfortable silence for a while, just enjoying every sip of wine that we took whilst enjoying each other's company.

"Lexi is my priority." I said, out of the blue, and breaking the silence.

"Pardon?"

I was itching to have this conversation with him and see how serious he was about us, and at the same time showing him how serious I was. I didn't have the luxury of time to spend playing chase. He either wanted me or not, and if he did, he'd have to be serious about me and commit. I wasn't in the prime of my twenties, looking for someone to have fun with and keep me company when I needed or vice versa. I wanted a commitment, a promise that he'd build something with me.

"You need to understand that. Lexi will always come first, it's not debatable and it's not going to change."

"I know that." The way he said it, he sounded almost offended, as if I'd accused him of something.

"I know you know that. I just wanted to clearly state where I'm at. Lexi and I have already been through enough, we need stability now. And I'm not going to ruin what I've built with so much effort for you."

Seb's next move made me gasp in surprise. He pushed the wine glasses away, sliding them across the marble island, and positioned himself in front of me, his knee spreading my legs slightly open. He leaned his head down and his lips picked up mine, opening them so his tongue could invade me, in a way I never thought it would. His moves were fast and powerful, and somewhat rough and I felt breathless. It felt like he was wired.

"I am serious about you. I am serious about you and Lexi. I love that kid and I love you." He paused, and our eyes didn't look away from each other's, analysing every shadow of colour in our orbits. "It concerns me that that is still not clear for you."

This time, I did the moving and I did it as rough. I lifted my arms, letting my hands wrap around his neck and my fingertips tug at the nape of his neck before pulling his head down so his lips would crash mine again. It was everything and more, it was rough, it was passionate and it was making me feel alive. It was bringing out this fire I didn't even know I had in me.

Once we were out of breath, there wasn't much talking between us. With his hands trailing down my back and my sides, and cupping my ass, I got up from the chair and got back on my feet. My legs felt like jelly but he was hoisting me up with his hands that seemed to burn me whenever and wherever he touched me. We continued kissing as we walked out of the kitchen and towards his bedroom. Never being at his place, I didn't know the way, but I didn't want to open my eyes, just in case I was dreaming and would wake myself up. I only opened them when the back of my knees hit the mattress. And that's when I realised that I trusted this man far more than I thought I did.

I traced my fingers down the buttons of his shirt before I threw caution out the window and unbuttoned them at the speed of light. I wanted nothing more than him. His skin. His touch. Him, bare.

I barely looked away from the sight in front of me, but I did glance at his face, finding him looking slightly surprised to see me so... Loose. Which made sense since I've always kept a certain restraint around him.

"I waited so long for you." He said it like a plea.

I ran my fingertips down his chest, my nails lightly scratching his skin, almost as a proof that he was real, Sébastien was really hovering over me, shirtless and hard. My actions only seemed to spur him on and I relished in hearing him grunt against my mouth.

Our lips pressed against each other's lightly at first, each of us savouring the other's taste, mixed with the wine. It was intoxicating, almost. Sébastien took over my senses like an addictive substance. His taste fogged my brain in the best way.

With him, I never wanted to feel sober again.

My hands travelled down to his waistline and didn't waste a second to unbuckle the belt and unzip his pants, revealing him. Big and hard enough that it stretched out his underpants. I rushed to pull them down his legs, letting them fall and rest around his ankles, so I could go for it.

The second my hand touched his length, I could feel him shivering against my touch. And damn, it felt good to have that power over him.

"Melanie."

"What?"

"Tonight's about you." I gave him a sideways look and continued pumping him. "Plus if you keep doing that I won't last long enough to enter you."

"No." I said. "Tonight's about us."

I was reluctant to remove my hand from his shaft, I wanted to keep feeling him. But I wanted a lot more to feel him inside me.

Sébastien unzipped my dress and his blue eyes followed it as he let it fall down my body, pooling at my feet. He looked at my body with sheer want and admiration and I could feel myself getting warmer and wetter by the second. With one hand wrapped around my hip, his fingertips gently traced the lace details of my black panties that matched my black bra. His free hand travelled up my stomach until it reached my breasts, and cupped the left one first, hard enough that I was whimpering his name. That seemed to be the reaction he was looking for, considering the wicked smile on his face before he switched to the other breast, getting the exact same reaction out of me. He let his hand go off my hip and found its place behind my back, unlocking my bra and letting it fall down my arms and on the ground.

"Lay down for me."

He didn't need to ask twice. I let my body fall down on the mattress behind me and crawled backwards until my head hit the pillow. Sébastien dug his palms on the mattress and crawled over me until we were eye to eye, our mouths mere inches away from each other's.

When he dipped his head down to kiss me, I instinctively bucked my hips up, feeling his hardness against my wetness. I moaned against his lips, as I enjoyed the feeling. Sébastien seemed to be enjoying it too, I could tell by the way he grunt against my mouth.

He stopped kissing me and I opened my eyes to find him staring down at me, silently asking for permission to take it further than this. I nodded while spreading my legs wider.

"Use your words, Mel."

I used one elbow to support my weight while I slightly sat up, and used my free arm to wrap it around his neck while pulling his face closer, until our noses touched.

"I want you inside me." I whispered, while feeling his breath against my lips.

He quickly picked up a squaresized foil pack and opened it with his teeth before rolling on a condom down on himself.

His fingers traced up my slit, feeling how wet I was, until they found my throbbing clit, and I rolled my eyes at the sensation.

"Fuck, Melanie."

I melted under his weight, his touch, and that was everything I didn't even remember I missed. Feeling so worshipped by someone, that your entire body burns and melts at the same time underneath their gaze and their touch.

When he quit the foreplay and finally entered me, we both moaned loudly, my ears started buzzing and I felt like I could explode right then and there.

For the past few years of my life I've taught myself to be on my own and I'd come to terms with that. But as he pulled back and then back in again, rhythmically, I learned that he was already a part of me. All along, until now, I was incomplete, and he was the piece of the puzzle I never knew as missing.

I kept arching my back while I wrapped my legs around his waist, digging the heels of my feet in his back as I urged him to go harder and deeper. And he did. He kept the pace until we kissed each other to muffle our screams.

Earth shattering doesn't even begin to cover how it felt.
