I had been planning a visit to see my Mom for a while. Although we called each other and talked most days I hadn't spent time with her face to face in many months. We had spoken about going back home, back to Romania; Mom had wanted me to bring Holly along. I agreed as I too wanted her along for the ride, but I wanted this trip to be a surprise.

Heading into the city, Holly was at a meeting with her manager and publisher, I stepped into a little bookshop. Holly would love this shop, I thought to myself, it was quirky and cute, old dusty books lined the shelves with the new and it was owned by a little old lady.

Looking through the travel section, I finally found what I was looking for, a Romanian phrase book. I longed for Holly to learn my language, even if it was only a few phrases. I thought back to those words I had uttered to her as we snuggled on our chair, I hadn't meant for them to come out, I smiled at the memory. I wanted Holly to be mine, to be a part of my family. I thanked the old lady as I left.

At another shop I bought a box to put the book in, it was azure blue, the same colour that adorned my native flag, the box came lined with tissue paper in the same colour. I knew Holly would keep this box, it's something she did, we had many boxes she would keep and reuse, she'd keep the ones she liked too much for herself, filling them with sentimental items, she thought I didn't notice.

I booked the plane tickets online, Will had picked them up for me. We sat and had coffee as I explained to him my surprise for Holly. I tucked the tickets inside the phrase book before placing it in the box.

Holly texted me to say she had finished her meeting, she was on her way home, so I said goodbye to Will, he wished me luck with the gift, I didn't need it, I knew Holly would love this surprise.

Holly had made it home before me and was sitting on her laptop when I arrived home. I swung the black bag in my arms containing Holly's gift, I couldn't hide the excitement on my face as I bounded into our living space. She eyed me warily as I approached her an amused expression took over her face.

"What have you done?" She asked me as I jumped on the couch next to her. She moved her laptop to the side as I handed her the bag,

"I got a surprise for you." I said with excitement.

Looking into the bag Holly eyed the blue box warily. "Open it."

Holly pulled it out, she smiled with joy at the box, I hoped she would be this excited when she opened it to see the gift inside, She was stunned when she flipped open the pages of the book to reveal the plane tickets. A grin spread across her face.

"We're going to Romania?" She whispered.

"Yeah I haven't been in a while and last time I couldn't visit with my Mom, so-" I rubbed the nape of my neck. "Would you come with us?"

She didn't say anything. Within seconds she was jumping into my lap, taking my stubbled face into her hands before kissing me wholeheartedly on the lips.

"Is that a yes?" I asked.

"Yes, it's a yes!" She exclaimed before kissing me again.

She grabbed my hands as she allowed my tongue to explore her mouth, she tasted so sweet and heavenly. With force she moved my hands above my head, I popped my eyes slightly at the sudden movement, propping them behind my head.

"No touching." She whispered, her eyes glassy. I groaned allowing my eyes to close as I lay my head back against the couch. "No touching." She said again, leaning away from me. I opened my lids a fraction and had to bite my lip at the seriousness in her eyes, it was mixed with something else, lust.

She moved her hands down and over my shirt, tugging at the hem and moving the material over my abs. I helped her remove it by shifting my body slightly, heading her earlier warning. Holly dipped her head, kissing my torso, her tongue licking and flicking at my abs as she moved. Her eyes peering up at me, testing me, they were full of lust and longing, she groaned when I looked down at her, again biting my lip.

I moaned her name as she kissed lightly along my happy trail, the sensation going directly to the erection steadily growing in my pants. With fumbling hands she started tugging at the waistband of my jeans, I helped her shimmy them off my body. I couldn't help run my hands through her soft hair as I felt her warm breath hit my thigh, I needed to touch her. She stopped her ministrations, once again moving my hands away to above my head. I let out a light chuckle as she straddled my lap, her head dipping to beside mine.

"No touching." Her tongue flicked against my earlobe as she whispered those words, before she sucked and nibbled at my neck and worked her way down my body. She ground her hips against me, my member fighting to stay in their cage, my boxers before reluctantly lifting her body away from mine.

Her eyes searched mine as she teased the band of my tight boxers, pulling them away from my heated skin. Holly cupped me in her small hands, kissing the tight muscle through the fabric. I inhaled sharply at the sensation, I longed to touch her but moved my hands to grip onto the couch cushions instead, my fingers dug into the fabric as my head lolled backwards, my body arching upwards and closer to her.

Taking the opportunity Holly pulled at my boxers finally freeing my straining member. I wasn't going to last long. She started to lick tenderly, her head bobbed between my legs as she sucked and kissed my tip. My eyes glistened as I watched her, the beautiful woman between my thighs, with flushed cheeks.

I couldn't hold back any longer. I cup her heated face in my hands, bringing her face closer to mine and take her fully, not caring that I could taste myself on her lips and flip her body in one swift movement so that she's nestled beneath me. I take her hands, doing just what she did with mine and place them above her head. I quickly remove her joggers from her legs and roll up her shirt, my fingers skimming the underside of her bare breast. I brush my lips softly against hers as I wrap a hand round her wrists to keep her in place.

"No touching." I say repeating her words from earlier, my voice coming out more gravely than normal. A smile creeps across her face as she sucks on her lower lip taking in my words.

I start my assault by nibbling on her neck, pressing soft kisses against her collar bone. I move one of my hands to gently stroke at her exposed breast as I kiss and nip at her torso, slowly making my way down to her panties. She whimpers when my tongue flicks against the thin fabric shielding her centre. Using one of my fingers I toy with the edge of the sheer fabric and use my teeth to pull it away, letting my tongue dart out on occasion to tease her.

She was climbing and I could see it, her body had started to quiver and writhe under my touch, one of her hands had moved to the couch cushion, her fingers clawed at the fabric. The other had managed to find it's way into my hair, she tugged lightly at my scalp.

I stopped abruptly, grabbing her wrist. "No touching." I uttered in a shallow breath as I moved her hands again.

"Seb, please-" Her eyes sparkled, she wanted me, needed me.

I placed my mouth to hers again, kissing her softly as I moved the fabric away from her centre, using a finger I teased her. Wow, she was ready. I groaned into her mouth at the feel of her, curling my finger slightly.

"Seb-" She cried my name as she tightened and tensed around my digit. I removed my finger and slid off her underwear before positioning myself above her.

Holly lay her hands on my chest before moving her arms up to wrap around my neck. I moved my head down, placing my lips against her again, she moved her lips along my jaw before settling into the crook of my neck, where she sucked and bit at the flesh. I lean my head into the same position on her body and groan, my breath tickling her.

I line myself up with Holly's centre and gently push against her. My teeth graze her neck as her warmth engulfs me, she moans at the sensation turning her head to allow me more access. I start off slowly, relishing in the sensation.

"Holly." I moan her name as we pick up the pace. I was close, my member twitching inside her.

Holly brings her leg up, hooking it around me tightly. I hit the right spot as we continue to move together. "Fuck." We both cry out at the same time, feeling this new depth of pleasure. I tightly grasp hold of the thigh she has wrapped around me, moving it higher, my fingers digging into her flesh. At this movement I feel her core tighten as she clenches around me. I grunt in pleasure as Holly shudders, we both release at the same time, she grabs onto my biceps as it washes over her, she releases herself around me.

Holly pants and moans, vibrating with pleasure, my eyes stare deep into hers as I empty myself inside of her, my mouth open, breathes coming out in jagged bursts. I wait a moment before gently moving.

Holly curls up into my side and we kiss and cuddle for a while, I weave my fingers through her hair, pushing some stray strands from her face.

"I love you."

A small sleepy smile works its way over features. "I love you too." She yawns then groans and rolls over onto her stomach, her sleepy eyes looking up at me.

"We should shower." I say. "Come on." I manage to get her off the sofa, leading us both up to the bathroom. We entered together, letting the warm water wash over our bodies, kissing at every opportunity. I could easily go again but I kept my sordid thoughts to myself, for now.

A short while later we both settled back on the offending couch, where Holly nestled herself into my arms again. We flick through the Romanian phrase book I bought her, I tried to teach her a few phrases.

"La dracu." (Fuck) I say proudly in her ear. "You'll definitely wanna know that one." I tease.

"Sebastian!" She playfully smacks my arm, earning a chuckle from myself. She knew these words, I had said them before.

"Soţie." (Wife) I say, kissing the top of her head, taking away the book so she can't look up the word that had just left my lips.

"Heeey"" She whined, making a grab for it. I chuckled, putting it on the top of the bookshelf, where she couldn't reach it.

"Come on, we have to eat and it's getting late." I said heading to the door, keys in hand and popping my sneakers on. We needed to grab some semblance of a meal, I wasn't in the mood for cooking, and Holly wasn't keen on my choice of dinners. They weren't 'normal.' 

Holly trailed reluctantly behind me.
